Front Squats & Hex Bar Deads

OK- this was definitely a "just get me through", "-10", "-100000" workout. I am simply exhausted- played almost three hours of basketball last night and had a lot of trouble sleeping. I really had no business working out tonight, as my body was trying to tell me. However, I have plans tomorrow and Saturday so I pretty much had to force myself through the workout today. I made some modifications, as I knew I wouldn't be able to get through any high rep squat sets. 

Planks: 1:00 regular, 1:00 right side, 1:00 left side, 1:00 regular

Front Squats: 135/5, 155/4, 175/3, 175/3, 175/3, 155/6
   * Tried doing these by holding straps, as I've seen John Phung do them. One of the straps snapped as I was unracking the 3rd set. Threw the straps out and went back to doing them with a cross arm grip. Everything was heavy tonight. All three sets of the 175/3 were chores, as was the set of 155/6. 

Hex Bar Deads: 225/5, 275/5, 315/3, 365/1
  * For psychological reasons, I decided to do 365/1. I haven't done that weight in a long time and since the workout was total crap to begin with, banging out a rep with that weight made me feel like tonight wasn't a total waste of time. It was tough, but I did it.

Bodyweight Calf Raises: 20, 20, 20, 20

Lying Hamstring Curl: 100/10, 100/10, 100/10

No chance whatsoever of me even attempting to do pullups or jump rope. Last night killed me, tonight poured dirt on top of the casket. Much needed two days off are here.
