Below The Belt

Front Squat
3-3-3

Rest 5 minutes

5 rounds for time:
10 pistols
10 ball slam to box jumps (holding the ball)

I ended up topping out at 185# on the front squats, and I barely snuck in the last rep of the third set. This is a solid gain for me though, which I can contributed to improved flexibility, mechanics, and comfort.
The quickie at the end was a pulse-raiser. I used a 30" box and a 14# med-ball, as well as a red-band on the pistolas. I noticed a huge difference in the relative strengths of my legs, and will need to address this if I want to see significant increases in my lower body power output
