4 Sets

  • 12 Front squats (65) / Weighted wall sits (40s, 35# DB in front rack)

Bumped the dumbbell up five pounds and did four sets of the hammy movement.

We added a couple of mats on the box to increase the height and I jumped from dumbbell to two pound heavier kettlebell. The KB is a little awkward for the marching.

Lifting

4 Sets

  • 12 Deadlifts (105) – 8/8 Single Leg Hip Bridges (35)

4 Sets

With my back so tight the seated rows were safer.

I screwed up and did wide lat pulldowns.

Dropped the weight after the first set because I could feel myself starting to strain and didn’t want to risk my back. I skipped out on the ab work.
