Squat. Monday 6/7/10.

Back Squats 5x4
165x4
165x4
165x4
165x4
165x4
-> first 2 sets really tough, but then it got easier.

Power Cleans
115x5
115x5
115x5
115x5
95x7 (to focus on form more)
-> I need to get elbows up more and not spread feet as much when I land/catch the weight.

Banded Box Squats
-> all with purples (1 each side)
95x5
95x8
95x8
95x8
-> last few reps were really tiring.

Medicine Ball Throws with Akram
2sets till failure with 6kg ball
-> these were pretty tough.

Weighted Box Jumps onto Tall Box
3 sets of 8 reps while holding the 5lb weights in each hand.
-> on the 4th rep of the last set, my right foot landed on the corner of the box and I slipped off and scraped up the middle of my right shin and my right hamstring. No serious damage or injury. Just embarrassing and disappointing.
-> I need to narrow my stance a little bit on the box jumps so I land with both feet on the box and not on/near the edges!!
