katt- It's a position/ balance/ and flexibility thing. When I first started doing them I didn't bring my elbows up high enough and my wrists were not that flexible so I was placing undo stress on them. If you are used to back squatting then front squats can seem strange at first because you are in a more upright position. Playing with the bar position (on your shoulders) and keeping your elbows up helps put your torso in the correct position. It worth working on, I didn't get it right away either but now it feels quite natural and I prefer front squatting to back squatting.
ooo peaches.

For some reason I didn't start off great- and the SLdeads felt hard- but I started to get my groove on when I got into the lunges.
I didn't push too hard with the overhead presses as I was worn out from the benching. By the time I got to the pullups I didn't have much energy left and had to lower the weight a lot...

I take it that you have no kids and are single to have 3.5 hours to exercise........
^ No, I do not have kids... But I am also a very organized and disciplined person so I am able to make the time to do the things that I love to do.
Of course... He should've done 5 sets of squats, 10 sets of leg press, 5 sets of leg curls, 5 sets of leg extensions, and 15 sets of calfs.
^ I'll stick with what's working... that guy can lift whatever way he wants. 
Total body works great foe my needs.

I know man i hate doing reps over 8 lol.
DD- I used to be able to do 3 sets of 20 pullups- when I did more bw based workouts. 20 is not really a lot. I have a friend that can do 25 no problem.
