Foam Rolling

L-Sit V-Grip Pull Ups

Low Bar Squat (Paused)

Exhaled and inhaled at the bottom (1 breath).

Overhead Press

ARGH 260 lb was so close!

My back (low and middle) was feeling a bit sore, probably from maxing out on front squats yesterday. For some reason, the left side was a bit more sore than my right. This might have caused my core to be weak on one side.

Maybe I'll try again next week.
