Barbell Lunge 45lbs x8 (each leg), x8, x8, x8 (60s rest)

Farmer's Carry 25lb bumper plates 180' (~2 minutes), 60s rest, 120' (~1 minute)

Turkish Get up x0 (tried 45lbs bar ... lost it halfway up)

Spread Eagle Sit-up x15

Reverse Crunch x8

Back Squats felt horribly weak today, never really got into the groove. I did an extended over warm up because I could feel it not working. 185lbs was slow and heavy.

Stiff leg deadlifts felt good and crisp, got a little forearm pump. Bumping weight up next week.

Barbell lunge was HARD. 8 reps right leg, 8 reps left leg, 60s rest, repeat. Oy. My right leg is significantly weaker then my left, though it may be more of a balance issue then a strength issue. I'll move up to 65lbs next week, goal is 6x8-12.

Farmer's Carry was supposed to be with 45lbs bumpers, but I just couldn't grip them long enough. So I went with 25s. I'll pinch grip a 25 and a 10 next time. Still, got a sick forearm pump doing these...

Turkish get up I couldn't maintain 45lb barbell overhead. I'll start working with a 25lb kettlebell next.

It was about 90F out and 70% humidity today. I was exhausted and drenched in sweat by the end of this. Whole workout was about 45 minutes, and that was with a 5 minute water break after the Farmer's carries.
