Finally!
Partial squats 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
195, 215, 235, 255, 275, 280 (2)
I finally hit my target of partial squats @ 280lb, i.e. double my body weight. I'd intended to do only 5 sets, and in the fifth set I PRed at 275. That's only 5lb away from my target so I decided to add an extra, sixth set. The second rep of that last set was quite wobbly on the way back up and I had to rack the bar. Still, I'm only 1 rep away from a perfect set at double my body weight. Next target - a nice, round 300.

Front squats 5 x max reps @ 135lb (to 4 risers)

Pretty pleased with today's session. I seem to be making the best progress with my leg workouts. The achievement today of which I'm most proud isn't the back squat routine, but the fact that I was able to pedal up the hill to the top of Hincks Street after my workout. No idea why I decided to cycle to the gym on a heavy leg day!
