First Back Squat Since December

Another early night in bed and another night getting a lot of sleep. Maybe I’m on to something. Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

• Steamboats

Strength

• 10 Back Squats (45#)
• 5/5 Landline Rows (45#)
• 10 Back Squats (95#)
• 5/5 Landline Rows (65#)
• 5 Sets
  • 10 Back Squats (135#)
  • 5/5 Landmine Rows (75#)

I haven’t done a back squat since December 23rd! Body didn’t know what to do, especially for 10 reps.

Update: not entirely true because I did light Bear Complex two weeks ago, which involves a thruster from the back.

Conditioning

3 Rounds

• 20 Push Jerks (75#, from the rack)
• 20 Russian KBS (53#)
• 20 HR Push-ups
• 20 Plank Jumps

I did the jerks unbroken in the first two rounds and then rested it on my back after 10 reps in the final round. The push-ups got a lot harder than I expected. I think I started out 2×10 and then 4×5 the other rounds. Finished in 8:42.

Also did some floor and banded rehab, which I’ve been slacking on.
