I left you a little note up in my workout session log......they went much better. Instead of 4 sets of Front Squats, I did 2 sets of Front and then went to 2 sets of Back Squats (another choice for my knee-dominant exercise). I figure I'll keep working on my grip until it begins feeling even more comfortable -- maybe 3 sets Front and 1 set Back next time. I utilized all of your tips, though, and it certainly did help. It is, however, still a difficult position for me. I'm sure, with practice, I will improve.

DUH on the note - I completely missed it. 
I think it's a difficult position for most people just starting front squats. It's certainly not easy for me & my arms/wrists, though I do like them. And I have confidence they (like most things) get easier with practice which keeps me going. |

THAT was an awesome post! LisaS, will you come review my life for me and be my little conscience reminding me where I've come from and where I'm going?!  Actually I have a friend like that--we share hubby troubles with each other sometimes, just to talk and encourage, and we always remind each other where we've come from and how much better/close we are nowadays. But true, great job Jane!

When I was in college, my neighbor mowed the lawn in a bikini. Unfortunately he didn't look very good in it.  |

He used to sun himself in the bikini on a lawn chair in his front yard as well.

Wow....you are a super-shopper! Those boots are awesome!! I almost asked again about the swimming too..I'm glad someone else did...I'm excited to hear how it goes...
I say...if some of us make it to summit...there should be a group shopping trip...for all the new clothing/shoes we can wear??
(any excuse to go shopping of course...)

I thought the scent of new shooz would draw some people in here.
Great deal, for sure. I think I'll start posting a deal of the day or week or something like that in my log for people. I do it all the time for my friends/family.
Yes, I am excited and nervous about the swimming....but ready!
And, I'll definitely be at the Summit next year, so count me in.
