My abs are sore right now. Something I haven't felt in my work outs for some time. My back feels much better for it. I did the sumo squats @ 365lbs over a bench for safety. I had no spotters. Even over the bench I was just slightly above parallel for all sumo squat reps. Now I rest. Have a great week end.
