I really need to put together a more concrete routine. I have been waffling about since I hurt my back. I think my plan for the year is to worry less about getting stronger and more about staying strong, building endurance, and minimizing injuries.

Front Squats: 135×5, … had planned on working up but got a nasty cramp in my traps for some reason in my 2nd set at 155 so I stopped

Lunges: 35lbs/hand 3 sets

Hypers: 3 sets full range 50, 30, 25

Leg Raises: 3 sets of 20
