Maxing out with Front Squats

Front Squat
I was in the mood to test my 1RM today.

138/5, 188/3, 208/2, 228/1, 238/1, 248/1, 254/1 (PR), 258/0, 188/10

I came to a brief stop just out of the hole in the concentric portion of the rep of 248, but was able to power through it. Oddly enough, the rep of 254 felt better than 248. Since 254 went relatively well, I decided to try 258, but never made it out of the hole. 254 may only be a PR by 1 pound, but it is a PR nonetheless. Going into the session, I was hoping for 260, based on how strong I've been lately. Ah well... not tonight, but maybe by the end of the year/early next year??? The set of 188/10 definitely taxed my abs. 

1 Legged Kettlebell Deadlifts
5 sets of 10 for each leg, using light weight. Never did the exercise before/decided to try something new.

Standing Calf Raises on a box
4 sets, 10lb DBs in each hand, over 20 reps per set

DB Lunges
2 sets of 40s/10 for each leg
