I set another deadlift PR today. I must admit, though, approaching that much weight is pretty frightening! I think that is why I didn't complete the last rep. I think my mind was afraid of it.
That's ok. I'll have other chances!
The side bridge wall slides are my nemesis. It's hard enough to hold a side bridge for any amount of time. Now, add on the leg action and... nope. So, I used my other arm to support me, too. It was still crazy hard. There probably wasn't as much oblique action as intended, though.
Last time I tried this workout, I attempted a natural glute-ham raise exercise. I managed to get a relatively decent approximation of the setup. However, it is crazy hard and there is no way to make it easier withough losing form. The 1-leg DB Romanian deadlift was listed as an alternate. So, I chose those this time. The first set was a lot of getting used to single leg work again. It has been a while! Ankle stability was key. But, I picked it up pretty quickly.
