Tried to really pause the front squats. Even given the light weight it makes it pretty hard to breath and brace. These felt pretty good though. The regular squat sets probably felt the best they have ever felt as far as form goes.

Wasn’t trying to kill my self but didn’t have a whole lot of time. Went back pack camping in the great Smoky mountains this weekend for a couple days. My back is absolutely roasted from chopping up wood for multiple hours.

Top single:

We had to rig up a bunch of change plates to make 495, as my brother in law didn’t have enough 45s.
