Althought this isn't a PR, I felt good about it as I've been working on keeping the bar lower on the back and my back "closed". When I was doing Stronglifts 5x5 I worked up to 205x5 but my form on that was suspect. I was leaning forward on almost all reps and I was getting caught up in increasing the weight each workout so I was cheating a bit on the depth of the squat. The 25 reps above were all good. Minor leaning forward on the last reps of the last two sets but I caught it quickly. Keeping the bar lower on the back helped the leaning.

Nice job on the numbers splint - but what a warmup!
Strong!! Hey Brutha, are you in/around DC?
I need a good warm-up in the morning to get everything working. Takes a while to get the blood pumping.
No, not in the D.C. area.
Splint, seriously man... you are putting up some awesome work!
PS- You should be in the DC area... it's where all the cool CrossFit kids are... ;)
