Legs

Jenny LaBaw
Deadlifts (touch and go-ish)
140 x 10
185 x 5
210 x 5
230 x 5
255 x 5
280 x 3

I've said "touch and go-ish" because I didn't allow the plates to bounce, which they sometimes do with quick t&gs. I let the bar touch the ground under control, then did the next lift. This allowed me to keep good form and lift with my legs before I straightened up. I finished 5lb lighter than my previous go with this routine, but my form wasn't as good then as it was today. Shame I didn't video myself today, just to be sure.

Superset - front squats/back squats
115 - 3 & 3
135 - 3 & 3
150 - 3 & 3
160 - 3 & 3
165 - 3 & 3
170 - F

I completely lost control of the bar with my first front squat at 170lb, and the bar dropped to the ground with a very loud clang. Should have used bumpers! I think my front squat technique was pretty good; I balanced the bar on my clavicle and kept it in place with just two fingers of each hand, plus my elbows were as high as I could get them. Again, a video would have been useful for assessment.
