I always hope that my thrusters will get forever faster as I get stronger at the front squat, but It’s been awhile since we focused on them solely. It felt good.

WOD

3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3

• front squats

Results

After a good long warm up of:

• Oly lift warmup
• 1:10 handstand hold (against a wall)
• 15 pull-ups
• 15 push-ups
• 15 squats
• 3 x 5 progressive weight squats

we jumped into heavy (for us) front squats. Jay’s form is really good and mine continues to improve. I can get a bit deeper than Jay, but I think I suffer more “forward lean” than he does. Gotta keep working on the straight back – never let up.

• Jay: 135, 155, 145, 145, 145
• Christian: 155, 175, 165, 165, 165

Finished up with some easy back extensions for good measure.

I’m gonna blame the new little puppy in my house for making me a little tired today – that and I also run 30 minutes barefoot each morning {wink}
