A. Back Squat @22X1; 3 reps; rest 2:30 x 5 sets
These went really well. Added 10lbs from last week, so sets 1-3 @ 170, 4-5 @ 175. No hip issues during, a little ache/tightness in the hip flexor after but it passed quickly.

B1. BB Single leg Glute bridge @30x1; 6-8 reps; rest 30s
B2. KB Front rack step ups w/35lbs; 16 reps; rest 2 minutes x 5 sets
Last week bridges = 8 reps @ 105; this time went with 6 @ 115, felt good. Range of motion and control of descent felt better on the left side than last time. Step-ups were fine but I swear they are the hardest thing I do! Definitely felt yesterday's core work during them today.

C. Banded marching; 30s; rest 60s x 5 sets
Never done these before so took a couple sets to figure out the right band. First two sets with a thicker blue band, last 3 added a red band to the setup. Funny how something that seems so simple/easy is actually solid work!

D. Sled Push/Sprint 50m HIGH output; rest 3 minutes x 8 sets (Rest 5 minutes btw sets 4/5)
These went well again, same splits as last week (0:18-0:20) across all sets, although a stiff wind made the even sets feel a decent bit harder than the odd :)
OVERALL: A good day with very minimal hip discomfort. Squats especially keep feeling better and better. I meant to film a set but forgot, but did have a friend watch a couple sets and she said my hips looked even throughout.

Great to hear on the hip and good call on the weight - as a general rule as reps go down we will go up in weight. Solid weight for pause squats!
