Notes: Felt strong and had a lot of energy. I struggle with the lateral lunges. Although I found it to be a bit more comfortable doing them wearing shoes as opposed to barefoot. Its not a very fluid motion and I have to really concentrate.
While doing the single arm cable pushes, I realized that tightening my inner quads, my balance increased significantly. It felt really good.
I increased weight on every exorcise and still felt like I left a lot there. The straight leg deadifts, try a barbell. The kettle-bell weight was still too low while keep reps at 12-15. I think I can push the weight across the board next strength workout as well.
