FRONT SQUATS 5x5 FOR WEIGHT

012809- 155, 170 (new PR), 165, 160, 155

I did these just last week while everyone else in the group did hack squats. That time I did 115, 135, 145, 155, 165. 165 was a new PR that time.

I do have to admit that last week not only did they look better, with less knees pulling to the center, but they didn't feel quite as heavy. I had been going to try for 175 as the PR, but since I was having the knee thing and the "feeling heavy" thing going on to stop at 170 and go down by 5# each round. That had me starting and ending at the same weight. I can live with this as not too long ago it seems my PR was 120 on these.

With these last 2 times I have done sets of 5 on these I am finding that by #4 sometimes and #5 more often that my shoulders are getting just enough sweat on them that the bar starts to slide a bit too much and I have to rack the weight, dry off my shoulder and finish usually the last one. Maybe next time I'll try wearing a t-shirt instead of a tank top and see what that does for me if anything.
