In at 10am. Trained with Kevin and Kinde.

Warm-up

• 3:00 Air Dyne

Strength

Front Squats

Last session of the 6 week volume squat program. Warmed up with 5 @ 45# and 5 @ 135#.

• 5 @ 205#
• 4 @ 215#
• 3 @ 230#
• 2 @ 240#
• 1 @ 260#
• 6 @ 205#

I went a little over the prescription since loading 200# on the bar is not convenient and then also added 5# on the set of 1 so I could set an easy PR. Forget the reps and did an extra one on the last set. I’m really happy I did this program and can tell my squats are better. I’m excited to test out my maxes next week.

Bench Press

Had a disappointing showing a couple of weeks ago for 1RM bench, so needed to get back on track. I looked back to the last time I did sets of 3 and went for the same weights.

• 5 @ 135#
• 3 @ 155#
• 3 @ 175#
• 3 @ 195#
• 3 @ 215#
• MAX @ 175# (Did 10)

The set with 215# wasn’t exactly easy today, but at least I know I can still do it. Had to really concentrate on keeping my right elbow in close today and it helped.

WOD

• 5-4-3-2-1 Clusters (135#)
• 10-8-6-4-2 OTB Burpees

This one was inspired by a WOD Briggs and Valenzuela did.

I dropped the bar every rep, but didn’t take any breaks. Took me 4:22.

Finisher

5 Sled Drags of about 100m (135#)
