Back squats and video...again

I wonder if I'm starting to get repetitive with this. At least this time I took my regular camera to the Y with me, and was actually able to get a pretty decent quality video. I can't speak to the quality of the squats, but the video looks good. :p

Buy-in: 2 rounds
5 dislocates
15 air squats
15 incline situps
15 back extensions
10 OHS w/dowel

Tried to pay particular attention to knee position and hip drive on the air squats, hoping to establish some good muscle memory for the movements.

WOD: Back squats 5 x 5

• Warmup sets @ 45#, 65#, 85#
• 5 @ 105#
• 4 x 5 @ 95#

Backed off the weight because I didn't feel like my form was good at 105#. When I look at the video, it looks like my back is rounded, although my loose t-shirt makes it hard to tell. The sets at 95# look better to me, but my confidence in judging my own form is not that great.

This is my last set of 5 @ 95#:



Presses (light weight, re-habby type) 3 x 5

• 2 x 5 @ 45#
• 5 @ 50#

These felt pretty good; no elbow twinges at all. I know I'm still capable of moving more weight than this, but I'm being good and not pushing it right now.

Cash out: Light stretching

I ran into my mom at the Y and talked instead of cashing out. I'm always happy to see her there and being active. She has some problems with arthritis in her knees, and she has a routine she does on the machines and cardio equipment. I'd love to introduce her to some free weights, but would be very nervous about her doing them without supervision.
