Texas, week 10, recovery
Warm-up:
front squat (triples to 135#)
3x3 front squat (190)
3x5 shoulder press (95)
3x2 deadlift (315)
Finished with some front tuck levers (about 15 seconds for the longest hold), planks and foam rolling.
Second set of front squats. I could get a bit deeper by narrowing my stance a bit, although I need to check my clean catch position to see if that adjustment would be beneficial. Bar path good on the first 2 reps, but takes an 'S' trajectory on the last rep. A thoughtful piece on the front squat from Crossfit SF that offers insight into what is happening on the third rep. Not really a bad thing, but probably shouldn't happen on weights this light.
Second set of deads. These are pretty ugly; video exposes all sorts of nasty habits. Two obvious defects: 1) silly bouncing around before the first lift fucks up the start position and prevents me from setting my back well, 2) as a consequence of 1), I lose thoracic extension right off the bat (this is less terrible, but still apparent, in the second rep).

Hey Brian - nice blog here! I like all your superlinks. I've been video'ing a lot of my stuff lately - it shows you all kinds of stuff you didn't know was happening, huh? Thanks for the post on my log.
Thanks Melissa! Video is so harsh, just when you think you're doing something right, the tape shows you how wrong you were. It's the only way to go ...
