Front squats: 185# all 5 sets

Daily report
  • Body: Sore. Tired.
  • Sleep: Slept in a little, no AM workout. Still got to bed a little late. 7.5 hours. 
  • Nutrition: Good.
  • Notes: A little over ambitious on the last set of cleans. I should be able to get 225 for a triple. I was a little late on the third pull on all 5 sets today. Definitely room for improvement here. For the metcon, 185 was the perfect weight. I was contemplating adding 20# and doing 205 for sets 3, 4, and 5 but 185 somehow got much heavier after 20 burpees and two sets of hard rowing. All front squats unbroken, sets 3 and 5 of burpees were not. Overall, a good WOD.
  • Cool link of the day: Came across this article on Fitness Spotlight a few months back. For the most part, I agree with his list. Good stuff.
