Wk2: Prilepin Squat/DL - Heavy

Lunchtime:
Front Squats (215): 50x6, 65x4, 85x3, 100x3, 115x3, 135x3, 150x3, 170x3x5. Went well below parallel on these and had good reversal at the bottom. I'm able to stay more upright as time goes on, probably because of the good mornings. The first three sets at 170 lbs were moderately easy, then my lower back started feeling the burn and I had to be extra careful the last two sets. That, and my legs were starting t0 get tired, too. I think I need to recover from my lower back work: My leg test Jan 13 had a good morning max taken after a squat max and the next week, since there were no fractional plates, I did 215 on good mornings vice 210. I should have done 205. Next leg day falls on Monday, so I'll do 205 on GMs then. That, plus the extra recovery time, will fix me up.

Evening:
Assisted GHR (90 lbs assist): I told John McDonald at Lift n' Learn that I would do 4 sets of 6. But my workout logs show me doing 4 sets of 5 since late December so I gave 4 sets of 7 reps a go. It went well.

Seated Calf Raises (110): 55x10, 72.5x8, 82.5x6x2.

Standing Calf Raises (110): 55x10, 72.5x8, 77.5x8

Back Extensions w/2 kg ball: sets of 10, 8, 7, 7. More for GPP than building anything.
