This was one of my best overall workouts in awhile. This week has been busy outside of the gym so training went off the rails. But it worked out for the best as my energy levels in the gym today were up there. Three basic exercises did not seem like much on paper but at the end of the workout, it felt like just the right amount of work.
The programmed weight for my 5 sets of squats was spot on. I stayed at this same weight for all 5 sets with no issues. Next was front squats with no programmed weight just pick something and increase the weight each set. Front squats are always lung burners for me. But they spank the quads nicely. Last up was paused sumo deadlifts which I used wrist wraps on. I also did a double overhand grip. My heavy sets moved surprisingly well and I had to consciously tell myself to stop for the pause because the weight was flying off the floor. Again these are for building power and working on my form.
May not seem like alot of work but this workout felt just right for me. Time will tell in another few weeks. So far so GOOD :)
