Front Squats 5 x 3

Warm-up
45-135-185

5x3
225-245-265-285*-275**

*Only did 2 reps. Wasn't able to keep my elbows up and the weight was pulling me over. Started getting shallow in depth so I racked it.

**Got all three but the 3rd rep was a little shallow.

Did a couple of sets of 5 with 225 and feel like I may have found a grove. I really focused on forcing my knees out and it seemed to allow me to drop my butt into the hole and stay back on my heels and in turn keep my elbows high and chest up.

I was 10lbs below my PR today so I am going to start incorporating these into my warm-ups.
