Just didn't want to do anything but squat today. So I threw out Deadlifts, Bench Accessory, and Abs, and just squatted until the wheels fell off. Yes, my legs hurt today.
The interesting thing was the drop-off in strength when I switched to Front Squats. By this point in the workout, the 155X3 sets were grinders on Front Squat, but when I switched to High Bar it was no issue. Those reps were explosive as hell. I only stopped at 5 reps with that weight in the hopes it would make the next front squat set more viable. It didn't. So what this suggests to me is that there is a much larger gap between my Front Squat and High Bar strength than there is between High Bar and Low Bar. I don't have any idea if that's 'normal,' or if it's indicative of a weakness is my squatting strength. Unless I want to do a lot more sessions like this and nail down that data, it might not be worth worrying about.
