This was a great workout. Dropping down to 10 reps and upping the weight a bit was a nice change. It's amazing what a difference 2 reps can make.

The front squats are still improving, but I can't seem to hold on for the full set. My legs still have more reps to go when my arms and shoulders force me to stop. At this point I feel that the best way for me to get the proper leg workout is to switch to back squats in order to complete the sets.

I still working on the load for the lunges and felt that at the weight I was doing, 10 reps wasn't quite enough, so I did 12 anyway. Next time i'll up the weight even more.
