Very odd workout. Very. Very odd workout. The split squat portion of the ‘hybrid’ wasn’t hard, but I had issues with my balance at times. Normally when I squat with a bar on my back, I push my ponytail to the side. Here, since I was overhead pressing, it got in the way. So I moved the bar to the front. Which contributed to balance problems. My arms gave out before my legs did. I think I have to reduce the weight.

I checked what the exercises were right before I left, so I didn’t have time to check what weight I should use for the incline press. I guessed too heavy? 85 should be fine initially. I think I’ll get some quick reps back as my brain remembers. Lunge curls were fine.

Adjustments: Reduce Split squat/overhead press weight to 35 lbs. Increase lunge curl weight to 20 lbs. I was worried about my arms giving out, given that they’d be doing a total of 20 reps, but 15 was too light.
