From Monday's Starting Strength log, back squat:
45x5x2
95x5
145x3
165x2
192.5x5
195x5
200x5

ended up combining yesterday and today's wod. started with 45 minutes of 2-on-2 basketball then...

front squats
5x95
5x135
5x155 (i was already smoked at this point)
5x155
5x175

back squats
5x165
5x215
5x265
3x265
1x265

then did yesterday's wod as rx'd in a very painful 21:15

I did the Front Squat only. The knee is acting up. But I did a fierce (for me) FS.

5 X 95/135/155/175/205 (5RPM PR)

All sets beltless and narefoot which made me go on tippy toes to get the weight off the rack. The last set I had to strap onto the bar and was a little rough but I know that I can do theat weight.

Afterwards I did "Lynne"
5 Rounds Max Effort
Bench Press X BW (205lb)
Pullups

BP 10 / PU 20
BP 11 / PU 21 (PR)
BP 12 / PU 18
BP 09 / PU 15
BP 10 / PU 16

CFWU: 3x (15 Pull up, 15 dips, 15 squats, hamstring stretches, various sit-ups and back extentions)

FS: 95,115,125,135(pr),135

BS: 225,225,225,245(PR),245

Love both of these exercises.
