The slow squats were much harder than I thought they'd be.  Mostly burning in legs, tight lower and upper back.  Rep 8 got pretty hard to stand up.  I made sure I went all the way down and stayed as verticle as possible.  I had my coach watch me do the DB split squats and realized that I previously had not been going low enough.  Going below 90 degrees was more challenging and 25#'s was enough.  I attached a video of a few reps to be sure I'm doing it right.  Hip thrust tired out my hip flexors.  Good mornings felt pretty good.
