Training Day One Hundred Twenty Eight

Cheat day! Cheat day! Cheat day! Come on, join in on the chanting! That line was on repeat in my head today. It didn't matter how the workout would end, as long as I'd eventually get my calories. That's pretty much the mindset I had as I entered the gym for a quads and abs workout this very evening (after having had an already amazing afternoon).

# Workout Notes:
Today's workout was actually pretty decent. The only real issue was the initial Barbell Front Squats, where I was held back mostly due to upper body issues rather than the legs being tired. I think it might be a question of technique more than strength though. Adding to that, the exercise becomes more of a hassle as I get lower on body fat. The bones tend to grind against the barbell in a "not-so-pleasant" way. Other than that, the workout was spot on!
