Squat and Deadlift, Push Press and Row

As I discussed last week, we moved forward with the plan for squats and deadlifts.  However, it was not what I previously thought.  I back-squat a lot.  It's pretty much all I do.  Occasionally, I've dabbled in some front squatting, but never more than 135 pounds.  I'm one of those typical guys who whines about their wrists when he's cleaning, and then whines some more when he's front squatting.

To my shitty credit, I'm trying to change that.  We decided to front squat and RDL, instead of the highly intense back squat and regular deadlift combo.  Went light on both, was very sore on both.  Also did some glute bridges with an empty bar.  It felt uncomfortable.

Seems very light on all exercises, and it was.  I haven't really done any of these in a while, and I wanted to take it easy.  I was still sore as hell the next 2 days.

Push press was more working on form than anything else.  Yes, it sucks that I suck at pressing.
