Today was heavy leg day followed up with a shoulder workout. I’ve decided that I’m going to start a new workout split next week, but I haven’t quite figured out exactly what yet. I’ll work on it tomorrow and Monday. I think I’ll probably keep the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday split for strength training but I’m gonna switch it up a bit.

I did the heaviest deadlifts ever today! They took a lot outta me but I love doing them. I increased the weight by 5 pounds over my last leg workout and kept the number of sets and repetitions the same. This week for squats I kept the weight the same but added an additional set. Last week I only did 3 sets, today I did 4. I’m trying to work up to squats equal to or greater than my bodyweight.
