Two things I wanted to mention from the last leg workout:  during the single leg sorensen holds, on the left leg as I fatigue I feel my right low back kick in.  On the right leg, it's my right quads that start to fire as I fatigue.  Don't know if that means anything.  Second, my right hami/butt is way more tight and sore after that workout than the left.  Hami's, inner thighs and butt are 6-7/10 sore.  
Moving on...arms felt good and ready to attack this workout.  Strict pull ups still feel heavy...been trying to keep them hollow body as well.  Everything else was uneventful other that floor press just feels weird compared to bench press where I can lower my elbows more.  Thanks!

Really focusing on keep good positions on the back squats.  Felt good today.  The hardest part of this workout was the split squats.  Right side hip/butt grind a bit and 8th rep was tough.  It's a good low back workout too...I can feel myself forced to keep my back engaged.  Left side leg tracks better without grinding but feels weaker.  Sorensen holds are fine but 20 seconds gets long as the sets progressed.  KB snatch was good.  I can definitely feel clicking/pulling sensations from right butt down through the hamstring on the right during the good mornings, but also feels like a good stretch.  Left side feels great during these.  Hip thrusts are no problem.  Rowing felt good.  Thanks!

Realized my leg soreness during the CARs...hip circles lit up my glutes.  Strict pull ups felt heavy but arms are still sore.  Everything was pretty straight forward and went well.  Really enjoying the kind of meditative feel of working out at home.  Thanks!

It's interesting that with just a few weeks off my upper body felt weaker...I also just worked night shifts and am always a little more weak after that until I catch up on sleep.  I did my best on the different MU progressions.  Usually I can do a couple ring dips but it was a 'no go' today.  That L-sit chin up was also just not possible even though in my head it seemed like I should be able to do it...haha.  Nothing really to say about the rest other than the baseline of feeling a bit weak, it was fun and my arms felt like noodles after.  I got busy and am blogging this two days later and my arms a still a bit sore today...pretty sure I can't blame snow boarding for that ;).  Thanks!

Felt good to be back at it and move some weight.  Back squats at that tempo and weight by the third rep were harder to come up fast and not lead by raising my butt.  Split squats- left leg felt more weak than right.  Sorensen holds- 20 secs is definitely near my max at a time for single leg.  The rest of the C sequence went well as did rowing.  Thanks!
