Comments: I decided to start doing my DE LB day at Max Fitness so now I'm doing both lower body days there. Workout didn't start out the best as I kind of forgot how to sit back with the ssb. Luckily two sets in with my working weight, I went "duh" and started doing the sit back and loading the hamstrings. That made things much easier and smoother. Split squats went well, did a bit more than I was expecting today so happy with that. Gm's were pretty tough, probably from the unexpected extra set for the split squats and from doing ssb box squats beltless this time. Band ab stuff is new to me and a bit awkward. Might have to work on it some but I like that the bottom of the lift is similar to the tension I need in my abs for deadlifts. Looking forward to eating and sleeping haha.
