Obliques are super sore from doing barbell side bends a few days ago. I was doing barbell side bends like Lu Xiaojun (from the Chinese weightlifting team) but with a lot less weight.
Experimented with 45lbs, then 52.5lbs for 20 reps. Maybe it was a little too much to try out a new exercise. Nonetheless, hit a couple of PR's today:
Jump Rope
2 minutes.
- Going to start adding these in as a general warmup at the beginning ofmy workouts.
- Haven't skipped in so long so I'm really feeling the lactic acid in my calves!
