29 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Initially started this workout at the Y but after waiting over an hour to get in the squat rack, I had to beat feet to Ironmill. Box squats felt okay until I got to the heavier weights. Not sure if it was the long day or the sumo pulls from Saturday but I had to call the squats at 455lbs. I had been aiming for 495-500 but with the mighty struggle I had with 455lbs, it wasn't going to happen. In the past, I think I would have stopped the workout but I knew it was just the one lift and might as well get in the work for legs. Besides, I didn't miss the lifts. Back to the Y for leg stuff. Leg press felt good, managed 800lbs on these. Leg extensions are just so, nothing to write home about. Going to need to see how deadlifts go this weekend to see if I need to make any adjustments.
