30 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Working through some stuff. Left hip was achy warming up for the deadlifts. It is strange getting used to pulling from a dead stop. Got to get used to it though. Did singles this time rather than reps like I tried last time. I did my work weights and then bumped up a bit for two more singles. Definitely not as fast as the working sets but still a good test. Moved on to front squatting from there. Had to warm-up with just the bar for these since I'm not going directly from squats. Not bad, never any doubt about getting all the reps. Good place to start. Fun times with the rdls. Weird using chains but they work perfectly. Just smoked from them. I lowered the weight slightly on ghrs as I wasn't sure how fatigued I'd be from the previous exercises. Felt fine and got all the reps. Finished up the torture session with reverse hypers and stretching.
