This was a difficult workout. I decided to get into some squat volume. I thought I should still work a few heavy reps so I did 2 at 405. I think I'll keep up the volume and maybe try to do 2 sets of 2 with a fairly heavy weight before the volume work just to maintain my strength. I thought I was going to pass out or throw up on every high rep set. I was dizzy off my ass and sweating profusely. I did 3 sets of Standing Good Mornings following the squats, but I decided 2 sets of most everything else was enough. This workout kicked my ass which tells me I need to do more of these.
