Squats

Warmup:
3x15 GH situps
3x15 back extensions
3x15 squats
10 L-hangs (I don't know what these are really called)

WOD: "3x3 Overhead Squats + 3x3 Front Squats + 3x3 Back Squats"
weight should increase with each set

OS 135#/140#/150#
FS 200#/210#/220#
BS 275#/300#/310#

Compare to 3/18/09 where I did 5x3 overhead squats & maxed at 145#.
The last time I did this particular WOD, my back squat peaked at 250# so today was a good increase, even with a hurting right knee. I feel like I could have done more, but I didn't want to put any more stress on that knee.

OX

Warmup:

Dr. NoNo created my namesake workout for today. It is brutal.

I completed this using 115# for both lifts in 38:22 minutes. I hurt. I want to go to sleep.

Check out this video on push jerk (today was the first time I used it extensively in a WOD).

Where is my flexibility?

Warmup:
3x15 situps
3x15 back extensions
Jog 2 laps
2x15 front squat practice w/ bar

WOD: "7x3 Front Squats"
7 sets of 3 reps, increasing weight each set to reach a 3 rep max
  1. 135 lbs
  2. 155 lbs
  3. 165 lbs
  4. 175 lbs
  5. 185 lbs
  6. 205 lbs
  7. 215 lbs

I wish I could use the traditional grip on this exercise, but I don't have enough flexibility to get the bar where it needs to be. I had to use a cross grip so that the bar would rest on the front of my shoulders. Well, there's something else to work on. Here's a video of how it is supposed to look.
