This workout was decent. I think my hips/hams are getting overworked a bit from the raw sumo pulls last week, the raw wide box squats the other week, the constant heavy wide and atg squatting in general, the drumming, etc. The ‘heavy set’ each week on wide squats is getting harder, when it shouldn’t really. I think I may deload my legs for a couple weeks to see how that fixes things. Anyways, my glute/ham was stinging during wide-stance squats (from those damn raw sumo pulls last week), but I hit my targets. ATG squats were still strong. I hit 2 doubles with my target weight. Went for a 3rd double, and it felt great - so great I tried for a third rep. Halfway up I let out a massive belch (wtf) and had to squat back down and rack it, as I lost all stability and ‘oomph’, lol. I would have got the rep if I hadn’t belched, so that felt good anyways. Finished up with some quick light zerchers and barbell lunges. Going to try to make the lunges a ’staple’ to help my single-leg strength and overall coordination.
