May 10, 2013 Lower Body


  • Split Squats: 135*3 165*3 185*3 205*3
  • Squats: 315*2 340*1 350*1
  • Walking Lunges: 140*8 150*7
  • Good Mornings: 135*5 160*4 180*3
  • Paloffs: 100*10 110*5
38 minutes!

Wanted to try doing split squats first.  Definitely preferred that.  It doesn't tire you out much for subsequent bilateral work since it's so light, in relative terms.  I actually felt better squatting after doing the split squats.  Walking lunges are always a blast as well.  Did some good mornings, progressing slowly on them as I build up more lower back strength, then did paloffs.  I'm not sure if it's because I did split squats first, or what it is, but I'm positive that my lower back felt much stronger this week.  Maybe it's psychological, but I'm going to keep doing the good  mornings, and the split squats first.  BLEW threw the session, only 38 minutes. Felt great!  There are many ways to make progress; lift more weight, lift a weight for more repetitions, lift it faster, increase time under tension, or decrease rest time.  Definitely did the latter here.  Felt great
