Notes:
-Reach, Rock and Lift - Looked easy on paper but these kicked my ass, it was a struggle to do the Lift portion with my palm facing up.
-YTWL- Struggle to finish the last few reps on W and L, shoulders were burning hard at this point.
-Front squat - I'm an idiot, the reason the weight was 140 is because I failed to put 5 pounds on one side of the bar, I didn't notice until my 3rd set. Good thing it was only 5 pounds and not a 25. That probably would have made it a bad day.
-Supine Hip extensions w/ leg curl- 1st set easy, last 2 sets after front squats not so easy
-Hammer lunge side - My left arm started to get tired from holding the weight out to the side near the end of the sets.
-Knees to Elbows - I was spent by the last set
