Today -
warm up
front squat - (no belt, no knee sleeves)
4x5 w/ 175 lb (the difficulty of these is not changing much week-to-week as the weights increase. I'm getting a bit deeper, and my technique is more dialed in)
deadlift - (DOH, chalk, no belt)
4x5 w/ 255 lb
unilateral RDL -
3x10 w/ 75 lb
barbell step up -
3x10 each side w/ 125 lb (these are feeling more challenging, but I'm confident continuing with 10 lb jumps each week. As noted previously, I do all 10 reps on one side before switching. In the past several sessions (including this one), I haven't rested between sides.
hip mobility
t-spine mobility
shoulder mobility
Fun. I'm getting excited by training again. Weights are light, and I'm still rebuilding confidence. I've had zero nerve or back pain (aside from very superficial mid-back tightness) during training since I started this new program a few weeks ago.
