This workout turned out surprisingly well. I was still slightly sore from Saturday’s leg workout but I decided to hit legs anyway. I went with Horizontal loading again because it had worked well on Saturday and I wasn’t pressed for time, not to mention my upper body was way too sore to include any other muscle groups for a circuit. With consistency in form, I ended up lifting 20lbs heavier for both Hex deadlift and hip thrust than I have on either exercise since last November. I’m not sure why the quick gain, but I was stoked!
