44 minutes

Decided to give my lower back a bit of rest from the loading it's been subjected to. Did front squats. Made sure I was keeping my core locked and my elbows high.  285 I started to come forward and just couldn't stand up straight coming out of the hole.  Bulgarian split squats I'm trying to rest more of my foot on the bench for the back leg, usually I just rest my toes which adds to the difficulty.  I really want to start putting more weight on with these, may even lead off with them soon.  Walking lunges are by far my favorite part of the week now, just knowing I'm going to be drenched with sweat after them hypes me up.  Did some cable kickbacks, then finished with some good mornings, since I'm trying to build up my lower back strength (didn't want to do back squats since that seems to be stressing them out last couple weeks)
