Was feeling rather stiff this morning, but things improved as the sets wore on. In fact, by the 5th working set I was feeling pretty good — it went up easier than the prior sets. Being warm helps, but being tight from head to toe helps too.

I still hate the pause split squats. 😉

Anyways, not much to report. It was what it was. Excited about next week and setting some maxes for the transition to the strength phase.
