I was FINISHEDDD after this workout. I had 70 lbs dumbbells going for my split squats but my balance was shot so i just decided to focusing on getting my form right and really squeezing at the top which is why i decided to go for just my bodyweight. I tried to mix up power movements in lower rep schemes with higher rep movements where i focused on slow during the eccentric and power/speed through the concentric. I'm also trying to work my hams more since you asked me to bring up my legs size.
