Legs

Lindsay Smith. I'd like to have just one of her abs.
Now that I'm back to doing sessions where I focus on one area of my body each day, I've had to revisit old routines I haven't done for a while in order to keep things varied.

Box back squats - 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 (small bench, wooden step)
135, 145, 159, 155, 160, 165 (6)

My previous best was 8 reps at 160lb, almost exactly a year ago. Because I managed to do 10 reps at that weight, I added an extra set with 5lb more.

My second routine mixed a heavy and slow movement with a quick, plyometric one.

21-15-9 rft
Deadlifts @ 225lb
Box jumps @ 24"
Time = 13:27

My form was a bit dodgy for some of the deadlifts, plus I almost lost my grip for a few reps. My palms were so sweaty that the bar started to slip.
