Glutes & Legs

I was not so energized this morning - more like mentally I think and I was going to take it easy.

Tried out BB Pliét Squat (with bar on back)- not bad. I think I could only squat in wide stance like this with back squat style- Front squat I need to keep my feet no wider than shoulder width or even narrower to get full depth.

Then head over to Hip Thrust.

Low and behold: because of my bad math, I actually Hip Thrusted much heavier than I thought, even with the warm up set -LOL! I was thinking I loaded 165lbs as my activation set and added 10-15 lbs from there. Towards the end, I was like, hey I didn't start off 165 but 185lbs! (2x45lbs + 2x25lbs + 45lbs bar = 185lbs) - Hahahaha!! I was so glad I actually did those for 8-10 reps!

Leg Press - I went up to 120lbs (weight on each side) and got 10 reps! My left foot cramped up a bit afterward that I had to stretch it out. These were hard sets!

Then some little accessories and finished off with some bodyweight back workout.
