Split Squats are always spicy but extremely good for you. They may not get easier but you’ll become more comfortable.

1 set of the split squats

Warm up/Holds/Core stuff: Man, I can feel the imbalance. One side was way harder and more uncomfortable than the other on almost all that. The supine hang was nice to loosen up the lats though. Clean complex 1: 150lbs Clean complex 2: 185lbs Clean complex 3: 215lbs I held onto the bar for each movement, but dropped in transition. Pull (drop), Power Cleans (dropped individually), Last PC straight into FS and Jerks. Jerk Recovery: All at 235. This was weird but I see the benefit. Got advice from Jared for next time. Bulgarian split squats: 95lbs back-racked. 2 sets of… Read more »

The calorie counter on my assault bike is broke or I just really suck???
