28 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Long workout. I didn't eat much yesterday for dinner since my abs and ribs were sore. Probably from tire flips or atlas stones. Allergies were really bad, everything still sore and slightly irritated. Still a very good workout. I severely underestimated how much I could do on the rack assisted box squats with bands. I was thinking that going to a box would make it considerably tougher than without but I was still very surprised to go over 300lbs so easily. Sumo stiff-legged deads felt a little off so I kept adjusting the makeshift platform. Thighs keep getting in the way. Felt strong which is why I went for 515lbs. I got the second rep up about halfway but I stopped when it became apparent that I'd have to hitch it to complete the rep. Really feel these in the glutes and hips when I get up to 400lbs. GM's were good and tough. Despite my abs being sore, situps went swimmingly.
