From 4/19/2022 - Last night was my first night back in two months from training with my trainer. I was not looking forward to it because I always know those first workouts are always the hardest. He was glad to see that my strength and endurance was on track and says we will be back to normal in no time.

Tonight's session (ended 20 minutes ago, just got home) was a blast with the trainer, in the sense that blasting from dead load sets really left me getting nauseous and clammy. In the year of training with him, with 3 months on and off throughout the year, he still knows how to shock (so to speak) with new exercises.

Nice work. I have never tried dead stop front squats. I do 5 count in the hole back squats, which will tear you up. The lower back usually gives before anything else due to pump.

5 count at the bottom is rough, I do 1 in the bottom and 3 midway up, definitely great for low back and keeping tight
