Okay ... went for a more dynamic leg day.
Box squats @ parallel: 185lbs (60% 1RM); 12 sets of 3 reps -- per DavenportESQ's instructions, I visualized myself pushing the bar through the ceiling -- it actually came off my back a couple of times as I was pushing up too fast and not keeping the bad tight against my traps.
Box jumps: I think it was an 18" box; did 3 sets of 10. Felt like I was going to die after each set. Had to hit my inhaler once.
Stiff legged deads: 185lbs; 4 sets of 8.
Did some yes-nos, but my hip was a bit sore so I didn't push it. Also did some stretches (basically) with a medicine ball -- going from above my head to between my legs, pivoting at the hip (really just to get that lower back stretch at the bottom).
That's it for today. My lower back was bothering me a bit from all the driving yesterday and Friday. I probably should have done some leg presses because they give me a nice lower back stretch at the bottom; but I just didn't have the juice after all the box squats and jumps. Also wanted to do the rack walk-outs with 315; but again, I just didn't have the juice. Gonna keep the box squats as part of my routine. I forgot how I liked those.
