  1. Did this on Thursday:
    Exploratory front squats (haven't done these in months): 45x5, 65x5, 85x3, 100x5, 105x5, 110x5. Next time 3 sets at 110.
    Press: 45x5, 65x5, 75x3xf, 75xf :( Did 73x5x3 last time. Really tired today so decided to stop here.
    Lateral pull-downs on level 8 in Teagle: 3x10.
    Hard day.

  3. Front Squat
    225x5 (x3)

    Better form this week, but still back rounding out of the hole for reps 4&5. Need to be sure to hit depth on first squat.

    Press
    135x5 (x3)

    A real challenge for me this week, I was completely out of gas for this week after the front squats.

    Pullups
    12-12-8

    Felt a "twinge" at the base of my neck on the last rep. Hurting like hell today. Never had an injury in this spot before.

    Had to bail on the metcon because KB swings, in particular, were excruciating.
