July 3, 2011 - Front Squats


Getting started on goals.  Did a front squat workout, 5 sets of 5 reps.  Warmed up, then did one set at 225, 245, 265, 275.  It was really humid, and I was in my garage, so I took my shirt off and started on a fifth set, and immediately regretted it as the bar started sliding forward on my shoulders on the first rep.  had to call it off at 275 after just one rep on the 5th set.  Lesson learned.

Overall, pretty happy.  I previously tripled 295 in January, and according to the Prilepin charts, a 5RM of 275 should yield a 315 lb 1RM.  A 3RM of 295 would yield a 320 single.  So, I guess that's a long way of saying, I'm tracking.
Here's the 245, which felt comfortable.

The jump from 265 to 275 felt like 50lb. instead of 10.  Eek.
