Thursday December 8th

I went over to CCF in Cambridge tonight to visit Khaki and hit a WOD. I was excited to go because this group had just moved from the basement of a church into a real facility and I have not worked out with new people in a while, always fun to mix things up to get out of your comfort zone.

SWOD - Back Squat 3x3

I have been squatting a lot this week.. front squats, wall balls, etc.. but I figured one more day with this short rep scheme would not hurt me. Fortunately I was correct.. We warmed up and stretched out really well and I was ready to try to move some actual weights around today.
I loosened up with 135 and 185 for reps and then did 205x3, 215x3, 225x3. This is the most weight I have squatted in legitimately 5 months, so I was pretty stoked.. (Even though this used to be my warm up weight, sigh).. Also, the kid I was partnered with was doing 300x3 for his last set which caused my wang to shrink about 2 inches instead of being able to bask in my achievement..

Good shit though. Movin on up.. I think my last 3RM attempt I was able to get 265 (in June?).. so let's throw a time on it and say I hope to be back to that by the end of January, I think that is in play.. Boom, done..
Just in time for the Open..

WOD

3RFT

Row 250m

5 HSPU

5 Pull Ups

10 Box Jumps 24"

Time - 5:01 Rx'd

Good quick one, I was able to go unbroken on all but the last set of HSPUs which I did 3, then 2 cuz I lost my balance on the way up.. dumb.. 

Well.. so much for "outside my comfort zone".. this is about as "fastball down the middle" as it gets for me for visiting a brand new place.. Great crowd at the class though, full of diversity... There was a girl repping out butterfly pull ups and walking 20 feet on her hands and on the other side of the spectrum there was a dude learning to squat for the very first time.. 

Thanks Khaki, I will definitely be back to visit again.
