Squat Monday! New PR

Today kicked off Week Three in my 531. Heavy squats. 

I filmed by lifts for the first time, and it was very humbling. I was disappointed to see I lost my lumbar extension on my heavy back squats. Of course switching to high bar would help with that, but I'm not ready to switch until I plan to reset in January.

I also filmed my front squats and I need to work my rack position - my wrist is a mess today because of my poor rack. 

On the plus side, I hit a new LBBS 1RM!! 

Take a look: 


Overall happy with where I am. Still shooting for 405# by the 31st. A part of me doesn't want to rush it, but the rest of me is stoked to get in there on the 28th and just crush four plates. 


LBBS
275# x 5 
315# x 3
335# x 1

Good Mornings
135# 3x15
These were disappointing too. I need to drop the weight and work on form. They looked so ugly on the video, and I thought I had awesome form in my head. 

Front Squat: 
135# x 2
155# x 2
185# x 2
225# x 2
255# x 2
275# x 2

Mobility 
I have to build a more comprehensive mobility plan. I've been hitting my flexors, quads, glutes and groin, but I feel like there is something missing. I also am in need of a massage.
