Workout Journal Notes

My legs are still feeling Saturday’s insane 100-yard lunge drill, but at least I can comfortably walk now!

I’d say they are at about 85-90%.

Strangely enough, single-leg squats actually felt slightly easier than last week once I got going, so I’ll be increasing to 6 reps next time.

I really want to improve on those, because they are such an advanced exercise, and I seem to be lagging with a lot of room for improvement there.

My current plan is to get to the point where I can do consecutive 10-rep sets with my butt going down to the bench, then I’ll start doing deeper squats back at 5-6 reps, until I can bang out 10 true, deep single-leg squats.
