I was 67 kg up until 21 years old (when I was actually 64 kg) and now I'm at 83-84. I used to eat much worse back then.

How do you do your TKEs at the leg extension?
I do them with the feet a bit external rotated and I put the fingers of my palm on the VMO and push into it slightly to increase the awareness of that muscle - usually gives better contractions. I also think "hyperextend" when I get at the top and that really squeezes the VMO.

I think it looks much better than before, especially better speed.
I have the tendency to jumpmorning but I would love to be able to keep a more vertical torso like you're naturally doing. When I jumpmorning I go forward more than up because my torso is oriented down and also, as I raise, my knees have the tendency to collapse foward.
That doesn't happen to you though so...

How is bear meat? I was told by someone you can't really compare real hunt meat with what you normally get from the store...

The truth is that when I do 1/4 squats I use a much narrower stance than when I squat "full"... this might have something to do with it.
Did you use the same stance when you did 170 as in your normal 110 squat?

Also, for the 2nd workout you might also go with this:

What do you think?

Let's say you're doing squats and you want to hit one money set for somewhere between 5-10 reps. Your last workout you did 250 for 6 reps and you want to improve upon that number. Your entire squat workout might look like this:
45 lbs x 10
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 5
250 x 8 reps (or as many reps as possible)
The idea is you do enough warm-up or build up sets to get fully prepared for that one maximal run at a PR. If you felt you had more in the tank you might give another run at that 250. Also, notice how there are several warmup sets but the reps are kept lower to avoid excessive fatigue from building up.
Would that be the only thing you did that workout? Typically not. You might do one or 2 more money sets of a different exercise and you could even add some submaximal assistance volume work, but the rest of the workout wouldn't really count towards your progress one way or the other. It's the money set(s) that count.
