Tired this morning. Probably because I knew what was coming. Thursday is not my favorite morning. Warmed up with 3:00 Air Dyne (1.48km).
Coffee Squats
Back Squat
- 20×45#
- 10×135#
- 5×165#
- 5×195#
- 20×225#
Wore the belt. Wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, but it’s always a fight no matter what is on the bar. I thought I was taking a video, but evidently I set the GoPro for pictures instead of video so didn’t get anything. Did all the work in about 20 minutes this morning since I got a late start.
I was regretting those Super Squats after Kevin posted the CrossFit Intuition WOD.
Warm-up
- Crossover Symmetry Activation
- Bottom Squat Hold
- 10 Air Squats
- Hamstring Stretching
Strength
Deadlift
- 10×45# (slow reps)
- 5×155#
- 5×245#
- 4x5x295#
- AMRAP 295# (15)
Nice back bump and started to feel a burn in my hamstrings with that max rep set.
Skill
Everyone else rushed through the strength work, so I only did 2 sets of dubs, getting 95 and 43.
Conditioning
“Cindy”
20:00 AMRAP
- 5 Pull-ups
- 10 Push-ups
- 15 Air Squats
Yeah…was not looking forward to all the squats after super squatting this morning. I haven’t done a full Cindy in 2.5 years. Had a nice steady pace, making sure not to go out too hot and red line in the first 5 minutes. Push-ups were solid until the last 4-5 rounds when I had to pause once in each set. The air squats actually felt pretty good, but did start to burn pretty bad at the end. I set a PR by almost 2 full rounds and I’m 20+ pounds heavier now. Got through 22 rounds plus 5 pull-ups. Should have dropped for a few push-ups but I had enough.
Walked 200m and then did Crossover Symmetry Plyometric.

225# for 20??? I don’t care who you are that’s a gut check every time! Way to push through!
Thanks! Building back up. I did it with 275# in January.
