Beginning Thoughts:

I was worried about today's workout...

Workout:

Anderson Squats = 225 lbs x 1 rep x 7 sets
I actually tried to see what my 1RM was and I took 245 lbs but I lost my balance when the bar was rested and I sort of got stuck. So I discounted that and settled at working at 225 lbs. On set 5 I got stuck again and I had to take out the weights and re-do the set. I have vids of this.

Speed Deadlifts @ 60% of my 1RM (365 lbs) = 225 lbs x 1 rep x 8 sets

Barbell Reverse Lunges with Front Squat Grip = 65 lbs x 8 reps x 4 sets

Pallof Press = 27.5 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets
