Moving a little slow this morning. My back, shoulders, and arms are all sore from the weekend. Needed the rest day yesterday and was back to work after 2 weeks off. In for the 9am class.

Conditioning
8 Rounds (Tabata)
- 20s Burpees
- 10s Rest
Wanted to get 8 as long as I could. Made it through 6 rounds and then did 7 the last two. Maybe could have pushed it hard and made all 8. Next time. The most I’d done before was 4 rounds of 8 and then 7s, so I’ll take that improvement. Seemed to hurt less than the 6 rounds of 10 on Sunday. How does that make sense? More burpees in a lot less time.
2 Rounds
- 1:00 Ball Slams (25#)
- 1:00 Wall Balls (20#, 10′)
- 1:00 Sit-ups
- 1:00 Plank
Holy shit that wall ball felt heavy in the first round. Nobody in class expected it and I think we all dropped it after 1 rep. I did 28-24 on the ball slams, 18-18 on wall balls, and 24-24 on the sit-ups. Was a fight to hold the second plank all the way.
Headed out to the garage at night. Warmed up with 5 minutes on the Air Dyne for 2.36km.
Back Squat
- 10×45#
- 5×115#
- 5×185#
- 5×225#
- 5×245#
- 5×265#
- 3×280#
- 3×290#
- 3×300#
- 3×310#
- 3×320# (PR)
- 3×330# (PR)
Oh yeah! I’m liking the high volume and feeling good while doing it, though it might have something to do with how tired I’ve felt lately. Will keep an eye on it. My low back definitely feels like the weak point, especially as I get to the last few sets.
4 Rounds NFT
- 10 MU Ring Pulldowns (blue, 7’3″ bar, 5.5″ seat)
- 10 Back Extensions (45# plate behind head)
Over a 4″ difference from Saturday for the pulling distance so I dropped the reps. Once I got going they felt good with a focus on speed through the pull and sitting up into it. With my garage setup I can’t use a barbell on the GHD so I have to hold a plate behind my head. Much different! My back was feeling a pump after the second round.
