Front squats have always been one of the most challenging movements for me, but at least I have been able to see/feel progress on them. Worked up to 88# on the 2 rep round of front squats. It’s possible that is a PR, not sure. My hips still tend to rise early, particularly toward the end of a set. But at least now I can feel and correct a little better.
Did the cleans/lunges at 53#, which felt good. First time I’ve ever done lunges with a bar. I feel like I was walking all over the place, will have to work on that. Overall good workout!
I enjoyed working with Katie P. and new elements grad Allison, who is really enthusiastic, STRONG, and a quick learner! Though I stayed light on the front squats (worked up to 45#), I didn’t feel myself shifting, so that’s a positive. On the negative, I tried lunges with 35# and that wasn’t happening, so I grabbed a 15# plate. I guess lunges will be my next area to tackle as I start to slowly increase squat weights.
