DE Lower Body

Warm-up

Explosive Squats w/mini-bands:
1x10 Empty bar
1x5 135lbs
12x5 155lbs

Unilateral:
3x6 115lbs w/mini-bands split-squats, each leg

Posterior chain:
3x8 135lbs rack-pull

Weighted ab circuit
---

I actually had a lot of fun with this one. The squats were done with no more than 90 seconds between sets, and it was quite a different feeling using the same force you use for your max effort on something that's essentially half the weight. The bands always add a nice dynamic to things, too. The unilateral was nice, if a tad difficult. I think it'll be better off for me to start doing unilaterals with the barbell more often. I was considering doing RDLs with the posterior chain today, but went with rack pulls for whatever reason.
