ME Lower 1

5-5-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 fronts squats
KL: 45,115,135,155,2x175,185,2x195,205
BL: 45,115,135,155,175 [bailed on rep 2],5x165 [on the last set, bounced on first rep, bailed on last rep]
SS: 45,115,135,155 [bailed on rep 2],145,150 [bailed on rep 2],2x145,135

3x8 (per leg) overhead lunges (2x25# plates)
3x8 cable pull-throughs (100,120,130)

Rest between squat sets were a bit on the short side, maybe a minute or so; slightly longer may have yielded stronger lifts. Regardless, everyones' squats were well below parallel. The overhead lunges were surprisingly painful. Cable pull-throughs were painful and embarrassing.

Front squats felt good until the load got heavy, then started feeling it in my lower back. I agree with Brian, front squats are a good alternative to back squats. So much easier to get all the way down...

Overhead lunges... devious, no?

Easy down does not equal easy up unfortunately.
