I haven’t done front squats for a while and tonight was as good a night as any to do them.

I’ve noticed my wrist flexibility, while not quite there yet, has improved. My elbows still turn out a bit and I have to remember to rise out of the squat with those elbows.

Did 10×2 squats with just a minute rest between and after 6, it was getting to be work!

I began with some light front squat warm-ups and set up the bar for,

Squat Cleans + Front Squats, x 3
110/120/130, with a about 45 seconds rest between each set.

Front Squat doubles, x 10 sets @ 70% 1RM (175#) with 1 minute rest between sets.

That was a quick, yet solid session with no fluff or lingering about.
