Monday 10.31.11

SWOD:
Back Squat: 165x3, 195x3, 235x3, 265x3, 285x3 (last two reps assisted)

Usually I feel awesome for Monday workouts, but after heavy squat cleans on Friday, and heavier sled pulls on Saturday, my legs were absolutely smoked to start the week! I barely hit a single rep at 285#, which is 30# below my 1RM.  Not a super encouraging day in terms of numbers, but I fought hard through the reps so I'll take it.

Metcon:
12:00 AMRAP of:
-5 Thrusters @ 50% 1RM (95#)
-15 Situps
-25 DU's
9 rounds + 5 thrusters + 7 situps

Typically, I wouldn't go so light on the thrusters in a WOD like this.  I thought long and hard about scaling up to 135#, and most weeks I would have.  But with heavy jerks on the horizon later this week (perks of getting the programming early, lol), I decided to stay light today, focus on speed, and gear up to set some PR's later in the week! Either way...this WOD jacked me up pretty good.  Awesome way to start another week of training.
