Monday 10.17.11

Warmup:
Front Squats: 100x5, 135x5, 165x3, 200x2, 225x1

SWOD:
Front Squats: 250x3x5 (15# PR!)

Not having squatted last week really had my legs feeling fresh today.  I am still a little surprised I was able to jump 15# for 3x5.  I honestly feel more solid in a front squat than I do a back squat.  Not quite sure how that happens, but I'm gonna roll with it.

Metcon:
5 Rounds for Time:
-20 Overhead Walking Lunges (45#)
-10 Lateral Hops over plate
-5 HSPU
12:38



As much as my programming was called into question for being too tough last week, I'm gonna call out Brad for this workout.  My legs are fried, and 25 HSPU's in a workout is almost more than I can handle.  The last round of five was done one at a time, with ample breaks in between.  I found it helps a lot more to do the HSPU's on a 15# plate, and put an abmat in between.  This way you are still doing full range of motion, but you have an abmat to cushion my bald head instead of slamming it into the rubber mats.
