Workouts for 29 June – 5 July

OK, so here is the plan for this week.  I am planning to switch things up again soon but this should be there or thereabouts.  I don’t plan on making big changes quickly but I do want to shift my focus back to lower-body lifts within the next 1-2 months.

I haven’t decided whether to go back to squatting three times a week or whether to have a separate deadlift day where I can experiment with deadlift variations.  It would be good to find another one that has good carryover to my conventional deadlift but which doesn’t beat the hell out of me in the process.
