    I shot a little high when taking my 3RM from my 1RM front squat. This is the first time I've done a max front squat with the Olympic shoes and my form looks better than ever! It's interesting how much deeper I naturally go in them. In my form, my knees need to push out equally, my left starts to come in.

    8 x 115
    5 x 125
    3 x 140
    2 x 142.5
    2 x 145

    Step Ups: 16kg bell. I Loved these!

    Romanian Deadlift:
    8 x 135 Double Overhand
    8 x 135 Double Overhand
    4 x 135 double Overhand 2 x left face, 2 x right face
