OK, I'm back to one day behind the posted Crossfit WOD. I like that schedule because I like seeing what's going on the next day so I can plan any extra work I may want to do, like form work, etc. For example, I wouldn't want to do weighted pull-ups and then find out I have WOD the next day with 150 pull-ups. Looks like tomorrow's(for me) WOD will be done outside at the park. I like those. But on to what I did today.

Overhead Squat
1x65
1x85
1x105
1x110 (PR)
1x115 (PR)

Front Squat
1x125
1x135
1x145
1x155
1x165 (PR)

Back Squat
1x175
1x195
1x210
1x230 (PR)
1x230 (F)

I really started to lean forward on the 230 attempt but eventually straightened up and locked out. The second attempt didn't go anywhere. I felt very stable on the Overhead Squats.

I had to bail on the 115 attempts a couple of times, but I only dropped down in weight the first time. I realized it's not really a weight issue. If you lose focus for a split second on overhead squats that bar just goes and there's pretty much nothing you can do about it other than get out of the way. It's an interesting exercise. You don't really fail on the power side so much as keeping everything in the shoulder girdle, arms, and core tight. You can't allow that bar to get out from right over your center of gravity at all or you lose it.
