Box squat 3x8
135lbs
This was my first go at box squats. I actually really enjoyed them and intend to do them a lot in the future. My weight was lower than it needed to be, I just wanted to get a feel for it.
Leg curl 3x8

I have decided I should prbly start recording the extra lifts I do at the gym. I don’t know why I wasn’t doing this before.
wrist roller curl 2x
25lbs
wrist roller extension 2x
20lbs
face pull 3x8
75lbs
BB shrug 3x8
115lbs
I can go up next week, prbly to 135lbs
(I also use Ironmind grippers, extensor bands, and a clamp for thumb work)
I have mixed feelings about these extra lifts I am doing. It doubles the size of my workout which may not be a good idea, I hope it won’t somehow detract from the program I am doing.
On the other hand I really enjoy working those areas of my body (lower arms and yoke) and I don’t usually get to in programs I am on.
