Today was pretty fun, just wanted to see where my 1RM was at. 365 was not bad the first time. I think I may have inadvertently sabotaged myself on the 385 attempt as I tried to hold my breath the entire rep (after all, breathing while front squatting is not easy) and I think I ended up starting to pass out on the descent. I actually think this has something to do with the Valsalva effect but maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in. Either way, it's a good thing I had my safety pins in. Anyways I then dropped back down and did a paused set at 315 and then decided I wasn't done so I successfully worked back up to 375. I'm probably good for 385 if I were to try it again. Hopefully within a month I hit 405. I guess continuing to do heavy singles will expedite the process. Here's the video of the 375 (taken in my lovely home gym, aka my room):
