Oly programming

Last week (week 6/6), Day 1/3 of Russian Squat Program
Front squat
100%x2x2 - 355 lbs (161kg) - PR

345 was my previous 1RM, but chose 355 when I started this cycle because I thought it was closer to my true 1RM. So got a 2x2 at a 1RM PR weight; felt pretty good and makes me feel good for trying a new 1RM on Saturday.

Jerk
85% x 2 x 2 - 255 lbs (115kg)
This looked good and I locked out well, so decided to try heavier as well. Previous PR was 125kg (~275#) (w/ no pressout). 

275#x1 (~125kg)
295#x1 (~134kg, PR)
305#x1 (~138kg, PR)
310#xF (Pressout)

Pretty happy with that, but I still need lots of work on the jerk. With better form, I think I can jerk 150+ relatively soon.
