I spent a lot of time breaking in my new metal squat suit, so as you can see I didn't do a lot of assistance work today. If you can work up to a max single in 30 minutes or so then feel free to add some Good Mornings for 5 x 5.

Squat, working up to a max single
Romanian Deadlift 4 x 8-10
Hanging Leg Lifts 4 x max reps

Today we tested our straight weight squats to find out just where we are and if we are progressing. Here is the workout we did:
Squat, work up to a max single, don't... had much gas in the left in the tank. If you squat under 500 lbs you can probably do more assistance work, but base it on how fresh you feel, not what your program states.
