Super fast update





Busy weekend, super fast update..

Thursday I came in early to attempt to do a WOD and decided I wanted to do back squats because I haven't in a while.

I did sets of 3 for whatever reason. I did 135 for warm ups, 165, 195, 205, 215, 225 with success.. Felt pretty strong throughout.. but definitely need to get these weights up there.. I feel like I keep taking time off and keep coming back to something around "225 for 3 reps feels heavy, lets stop there".. I need to get more consistent with these..
I ran out of time to do "Tsunami" because I was going to the Celtics game.. Awesome win to close out the Hawks.

Friday I did the FCF WOD, back on schedule. I enjoy working out with classes so much more, my schedule has just been tough recently so I need to make better time for it when I can.
I did weighted pull ups for 5x5..
I went with 35, 37.5, 40, 44, 53.. I failed on the 4th rep of the 53# set because I started to kip, lost the ability to do it strict.. So I stopped.. Great pump out of these, love it..

For the WOD "Brass Monkey", I did it in 8 minutes flat.. Felt pretty good throughout, My DUs were solid, almost unbroken and in a weird sadistic/masochistic way I actually enjoy plate burpees.. They are annoying enough to suck, but the weight slows it down enough that you feel bad stopping for a break, better just to power through.. Especially for only 10 reps.
Ring Dips still need work.. Those go quickly when I fatigue.


Saturday I played golf for the first time this summer, over at Butternut, which was awesome. Perfect day.. Started out terrible but got better by the back nine.. I miss golf..
Sunday I rested, slept lousy on Sat night and needed to relax most of the day.

Yesterday I came in to assemble the Yoke and such, after sitting at my brothers Graduation for 4 hours. My legs and hips were all sorts of glued together, my mobility felt terrible. So I scaled the crap out of this and did a weight I was 100% positive I could handle, and it proved to even be too light for that.. I did 165 for my 20, and was just like "ya, that was fine, no problem" afterwards.. I will warm up much better and go for more like 200 next week and challenge myself.
For tabata push ups I gamed the hell out of it and did 10 every set, because my best score ever on Tabata Push Ups was previously 8 since I always game it wrong. I did 10 for the first 7 sets and then only got 9 on the last one, which were 9 of the ugliest push ups ever.. CURSE YOU TABATA PUSH UPS.. If I could ever get 12 on this one day, I would die happy.

Excited for this week!!!
