Nothing special with the WOD today. My legs recovered rather well so I've decided to stick with the original programming and do the squats today.
WOD:
Front Squat 3x5
Back Squat 1x20 @190-195
5min Rest
Ten rounds for time of:
15 Deadlift, 135#
15 Push-Ups
15 Deadlift, 135#
15 Push-Ups
Post loads and times to comments.
RESULTS:
More PRs from today's strength.
Front Squat:
195/215/235(PR)
Set the bar so I physically felt it against my throat. Played around with the grip some since my fingers were taking the brunt of the weight during the lift. I'm just trying to figure out a comfortable way to grip the bar without having my fingers ripped out as the weight increases. During the last few reps of the last set it felt like I was using my arms to keep the weight from coming off my shoulders. I was still leading with the elbows, but as the weight increases my form starts to break down and I have to compensate to maintain control of the weight. As I get stronger, this issue will obviously go away.
Back Squat:
195# x 20
I decided to up the back squat weight by 10# to make it interesting. It took me awhile to finish the set, but I did it without re-racking the weight. My legs were smoked when I finished.
WOD:
17:12
First 2 rounds flew by as all of the deadlifts were unbroken. However, as the WOD progressed my lower right back began to tire. It seems that I favor my lower right back because that's the side that starting to ache. I have to pay more attention to how I sit and make the effort to sit more neutral than favoring one side. The push ups for this WOD were the easy part.
