Last week was a long and busy week. I worked out every day and did lots of mobility stuff. I got all my squatting in (5x7, 7x5, and 10x3). Today I did… Back Squat 4 x 9 x 275 lbs  Front Squat (3 sec pause) 3 x 135, 185, 215, 245, 255  Seated Calf Raises 3 x 15 x 135 Reverse Calf Raises 3 x 15 x 185  Standing Calf Raises 3 x 15 x 185 3 sets  15 Weighted Sit Ups x 53 lbs  10 Good Mornings x 135 lbs  Mobility Work for 30 Minutes My training definitely looks a lot different than normal right now.
