Still not totally comfortable getting after heavy weights with the squat.. But I will say the last 3 days have been the most pain-free in over a month.. (fingers crossed, knocking on wood, all that crap)..
I really truly believe my focus for the last week on mobility stuff is the reason I am finally healing up. The blessing in disguise here is that since I am now basically starting from the very beginning with squats I can start light enough that my form can be FUCKIN perfect and work up from there.. My main crutches (wide ass stance and really bowed feet) that masked my lack of hip mobility and hamstring weakness are gonna get swept under the rug, and I'm going to basically try to replicate a perfect squat, because what the hell else am I going to do with my time?
I ended up doing 3 sets of 10 or so with 95#, trying to get my feet to a new improved stance.. Definitely feels weird, but its worth the effort to get used to it.
WOD-
4 RFT
400 m Run (up the hill)
5 DL (chosen weight: 300 lbs)
Time 9:35
Classic CrossFit combo.. run fast then lift heavy shit, rinse and repeat... I enjoyed this one even though I finished dead last in the group.. I think my weight choice was good though.. Went heavy enough that it was really taxing, but it was possible to do some touch-and-go..
My 2nd set frikkin sucked, not sure what happened.. I did the other 3 rounds without a break really and the 2nd one I just pussed out and did like 1-2-2.. Psyched myself out or something..
...Now to go buy an entire rotisserie chicken for "5 dollar Fridays" and eat the entire thing throughout the course of today..
