Stopped here, very sore and stiff today, all through my lower back, hip flexors and external rotators, no matter how much mobility work I did, wouldn't loosen up. Also had no real desire to train today, so I called it a day.

Good day, was happy with the 250x4, thats a big PR for me, I have never done it for more than 2 I don't think. Depth was iffy on most, but I was squatting alone...again! No excuse I know, but it's the reason
