Luke 8-15-11 Squat

I shared the rack with a guy who was supersetting abs and calves with 10x10 high squats at 405.

Squat
355 x 3 @ 9-
365 x 3 @ 9-
375 x 3 @ 10 should have been easier, but I was distracted*
385 x 3 @ 10
395 x 3 @ 10+ (5 pound PR)
good work sets today. I did not bike today so I was up for more volume. Tomorrow should be interesting.

*2 guys next to me were high box squatting. One of them goes to UCLA and was interested in the powerlifting team... however if he does join I will haze him constantly about how badly he fucked up today. His partner had just finished doing 455 (with my belt). UCLA unloads his half of the weights while 205 pounds remain loaded on the other side. Bar flips up and hits parter in head with plates and bar scrapes his back. Luckily no one got badly injured. All this happened after I had walked out 375 pounds. I hit my triple after I saw that everyone was alive.

Pause Squat with 3 second self imposed pause
335 x 3
345 x 3

Front Squat
135 x 5 on fingertips
165 x 5 high
165 x 3 arms crossed... I really hate front squats. They are what hurt my knee really bad over a year ago and I suck at them. What can I substitute?

Plyos
Box squat jumps and step up lunge jumps
