31 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Good workout today. Rough day at work so I needed to left off some steam. Squats felt heavy so I did less volume for warming up than I had planned. 475lbs was awful, like a three part lift to complete. Felt like stopping there with how rough it was. Talked myself in to trying 10lbs more. Form this time was much better, felt good for a little more. Added 10lbs more and got it as well. Stopped there rather than push my luck. I don't want any misses this close to the show. Felt similar to the workout when I maxed on front squats. Changed up the ab exercise as it is just too difficult to do the hanging leg raises while holding on to the top of the power rack. Moved over to the station where I do dips. Much better, don't have to worry about grip and I can keep myself from swinging around much better. Also learned my lesson from last time about chaining up my legs too far from where I'm lifting. Finished up with stretching. Going to be sore tomorrow.
