Legs

Didn't get my usual ride to the gym today, so I cycled. On leg day. Idiot.

Partial squats 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
200, 220, 245, 275, 285 (2)

I was pretty shaky on the way up for that second rep at 285. This actually felt less comfortable than the last time I did the same routine. Also, I failed the first rep at 275 and had to reset the bar, rest a little longer, then go again. Perhaps my jump from 245 to 275 was too much; last time the 4th set was 270, 5lb less.

======

Front squats (previous # of sets in brackets); 1 minute rest between sets:
115 x 25 - 5 (7)
105 x 25 - 4 (5)
95 x 25 - 3 (5)

I think the last time I did these I squatted to 4 risers. I forgot to set that up this time and it wasn't until I'd done about 6 reps at 115 that I realised. Still, I'm pretty sure I squatted to at least parallel - if not a bit lower - today. As usual, my grip was pretty lousy, except in the 95lb set, when I found it easier to keep my elbows up and my thumbs out of the way. Pleased about the fewer number of sets.

======

For time:
20 bs @ 135
30 bs @ 115
40 air squats
20 traveling lunges @ 50s (total)
30 traveling lunges @ 35s (total)
40 traveling lunges (total)

Time = 14:09

That's 1:03 quicker than last time, but it bloody hurt! I remembered to set up 4 risers as my target for this routine.
