29 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Back to DE/ME split for lower body. Just seems right. Decided to use 21" box for front squats and I'll stick to 18" for back squats. DE workouts will be with just 50% and higher band tension. Other than tenderness in my mid back that acts up from time to time, these went really well. Very speedy and the drastic increase in band tension didn't phase me. Lunges were pretty good, pushed it a bit. First leg is always easy, second leg not so much haha. No glute ham bench here so I just did regular hypers with just bodyweight. Had to sit in it a different way since my legs were too long (feet on floor rather than foot pad). Nice stretch on these. Decent amount of stretching, especially for the back.
