100 walking lunges

Yeah, so I'm pretty sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow after all those squats. Putting yesterday's carb up to good use! Front squats have helped me tremendously when I transition into back squats. It's a good reminder for me to keep my torso and chest more upright and not to cheat/good morning the weight up. Still not going super heavy on those but I can definitely feel where I've improved. Really proud of myself for finishing with lunges. I told myself I'd stop at 50, then just 10 more, until I hit 100. :)

WED LOG

AM: 30 min walk

PM:

Sumo DL

warm up:
70x6
100x3
130x3

working:
160x3
165x3
165x3
165x3
170x3
175x3

SLDL
90x10
110x5
110x5

Pendlay Row
30x8
50x8
70x6
80x4

Planks
3x30sec
Side Plank
1x30 sec

I think I need to drop the weight on sumo just a tad and focus more on my form. The 1st pull of every set feels easy but the reps following just feel off and like I am using too much of my lower back. I was interrupted halfway through my workout and when it was time for SLDL my hammies felt gassed out. Rest of the workout felt like I was just going through the motions. 4 ALC+CLA taken today and some cold BCAA's tonight. My hammies are going to be sore tomorrow.

Post a video or feel free to PM me a link to video of your deads to assess form. Need a side view.
 
TIme for me to pop in and recommend a product for your longer workouts... Been messing with IForce nutrition's Compete, it is AMAZING... Its just a per-iworkout powder but you will be able to really extend workouts and intensity later in the workout..

Oh, I know lol. I bought a tub last year. It's good stuff and tastes really good too. I've heard good things about stacking Hemavol+Compete, but haven't tried that combo. Thanks for the suggestion and for popping in hun. How are the battle ropes treating ya? :)

Moved battle ropes off of leg day because my weakspot in my squat is actually my upper back supporting the weight. Actually, no more cardio on squat day...

Been doing am cardion M (bike sprints) T(ropes) W(legs -off) Th(ropes) F(bike sprints) - feels like a great combo.... Still hitting weights 5 nights a week....

Taking hemavol too, but i cannot get a feel for it yet....

Thank ya :)

Same here. I don't do hiit or any long durations of cardio on heavy squat days because my lifts will suck! Let me know if you get a feel for it :p I just picked up OxyElite Chocolate Protein BOGO, 2lb tubs. I like it, so I think you'd like it. :)

Yup! Has Layne come out with any new ones lately? I have not been checking. I was scrolling through SHR to find something interesting to listen to. Have you listened to that PC, huggy?
 
I always forget about the super human radio shows - going to download a couple now - I've been geeking out on Joe Rogan podcasts lately & it would be nice (& probably healthy) to get a change of pace.....

I have listened to a few shows, depending on what the subject is. I tried listening to Joe but it's like every other word is a curse word. :p

Pushed yesterday's workout to today. Wanted something easier on the legs (specifically hammies) and lower back, but still a full body workout. Rest day tomorrow! This week I have been experiencing some DOMS a day or two after my heavy workouts, but that is taking into consideration that I have been hitting my legs harder than ever.

I missed the part where you rest between sets or do you not do that? You should just program my workouts from now on :p

Sorry, should have specified 10 reps per exercise per set, no rest between sets.

I'm always super careful to stretch out my hip flexors before any squat session and as such my warm ups are like mini workouts themselves. I ate ~50g of carbs pre-wo and it definitely made a difference in my workout today. Front squats and back squats felt much better. Foot placement was bang on just about every set and as a result I felt much stronger coming out of the hole. Only thing that did feel a bit off was my tibia on the right side of my leg. It would make a cracking noise on the descend for sets 130 and 150. Not painful at all but maybe you guys can provide some insight on that. I really was not expecting high numbers on back squats today and I think I had one more in the tank for my last set but it was a successful workout overall. There are still more workouts to be had.
