Well this didn’t go as planned. Last time we did lunges I worked up to around 115# and it didn’t feel great so I had that number in mind as I came in. Luckily, working with Tony meant pushing significantly harder by starting the first set of 10 at 135# and going up to 155# for the sets of 6. Second set I was losing a straight back completely and only made it through 5 reps but completing one set of 6 at 155# was pretty nice. Other than what I expected that to do to my legs for the next 48-72 hours…

Then the metcon made everything worse. I’m not sure why it was my shoulders giving out so badly in the front rack but I couldn’t hold the bar up as I started the squats so barely got any reps in. Of course that didn’t make planks any easier, either.
