Workout Journal Notes

My abs were still quite sore on Barbell Rollouts, but definitely not as bad as last week.

I think it’s the Reverse Lunges with Front-Squat Grip that are torching my abs so much, because of all the core stabilization needed throughout the exercise.

Pistol Squats are still insanely difficult, but I managed to squeeze out one more rep than last week.

Tomorrow is the last lifting day of the week, which means there are only about 2 weeks left of “Maximum Strength!”
