Notes:
This is my last "winging it" workout, but it has some exercises I'm going to start doing. Eric has given me some suggestions about how I should proceed while I'm waiting for my injuries to get better. The initial goal is posterior chain strength and flexibility.

Split Squats were tricky because of balance. I'm going to stay away from challenging weights until I'm comfortable with the balance. Kinda reminds me of when I tried Step-ups a while back. Single legged stuff depends a lot on balance.

For the Deadlift, I'm staying low weight, higher reps and concentrating on form.

I know I did a lot of leg, especially hamstring, work, but none of it was very challenging (except GHR). I was just trying different things. But I was really feeling my hamstrings after the workout.
