Knees were feeling surprisingly good during this workout, from what I remember, and I was able to get set into my hips for each rep on the squats. Deadlifts were also very locked in, I was able to maintain a much more neutral position on the pulls without overextending my lumbar spine as I have a habit of doing when setting up on deadlifts. Let’s see how this progresses with the weight increasing.
