Terrific first workout with the new split. I got winded here but it was exactly what i needed.

This would be the first time I did a loaded back squat since my back gave out weeks ago. As per your advice, I increased the weight incrementally once without so much of a jump. While conservative with the weight, as i've mentioned before, I am going alot deeper in with the squat. Thus, making it more taxing. While I wasn't completely partial in performing this in the past. I would say that now, I'm more "ass to the grass" than parallel to the floor.

Bar Lunge
1 warm
115 lbs. x 10 reps.

115 lbs. x 10 reps.

Following the round of squats, these were taxing. I felt terrific afterwards though. As i should with a nice feeling of accomplishment. As charlie sheen would say...WINNING!
