26 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Not fun. It was a bad idea to eat a dozen scrambled eggs pre-workout. I think I was sweating cheese. I will be doing this workout at Max Fitness normally but it's not open Saturday and I didn't want to wait until Sunday. Had to lower the "box" an inch to be at parallel. My legs and glutes have gotten bigger so 18" is high. Oh well. Squats felt good after I was warmed up and not much to say with the deadlifts. Belt squats were terrible. I was thinking of how much I had to take off to get a good 60% for deload and I even this weight was challenging. Never used this setup before so that could play into it. Could also be that I haven't been doing deep squats for high reps in about 20 months too. The weight was light but I was breathing a bit more heavily than I would have liked. Moved on to leg band curls and these were quite easy besides the last set. I was dry heaving after the first two sets from the delayed effects of the belt squats. I had planned on abs but considering my abs were cramping and I had to fight to keep my lunch down, I went on to stretching. Hoping the high rep leg stuff doesn't give me major DOMS tomorrow or the next day.
