A: Work on sumo squat form with 135 lbs.
B: KB sumo squats 75x7x10
C: KB swings 25x5x10
D: GHR 5×10
E: Landmine rows 25x5x10
F: Slant-board crunches 3×20

My form is a mess — squats, benches and deadlifts. I’m going to have to forget the last six months and re-learn everything.
I round my back when I deadlift. I’m going to have to strengthen my low back in order to get good form. For sumos, remember to wring bands on the bar for grip, stick butt back, lower hips further and pull with puffed out chest.
Feeling very defeated.
