Midline: Ab Rollouts 1 x 5

All lifts felt good and explosive. The squat @ 230 was legit A2G. A little slower than I would have liked but full ROM for the first time ever. For the ab rollouts I used 10#'s on the bar as opposed to 45#'s and it seemed a lot harder. I planned on more reps but did 1 in a 2nd set and felt like if I did more I'd risk injury so I shut it down for the day. Felt surprisingly tired towards the end of the squats.
