4/4/17

This afternoon was a really solid session ... long boring day here at TBS... but got in the gym after nearly 10 hours of classes and enjoyed myself. Kept the weights for the front and back squat pretty low, but it was a lot of reps. Happy to be doing a solid leg workout. Have gotten much weaker from where I have been in the past, but as TBS is coming to a close, there is a big opportunity for me to train hard and get back to getting stronger. Actually looking forward to working out tomorrow! Haven't felt like this since before TBS?

A.
Every 2 for 12 (6 sets):
Front Squat x 1 rep

Build over the course of 6 sets to today's heavy single

-225#, 245#, 265#, 275#, 285#, 295# ... felt very solid ... kept the load lighter.

B.
Every 2 for 16 (8 sets):
Power Clean x 1.1
(ten seconds between reps)

Build over the 8 sets to today's 2-RM.

-205#, 205#, 225#, 225#, 245#, 245#, 265#, 265# ... last two sets were tough, felt strong overall though.

C.
Every 2 for 10 (5 sets):
Back Squat
*Set 1 - 6 reps @ 65% (225#)
*Set 2 - 4 reps @ 75% (245#)
*Set 3 - 2 reps @ 80% (265#)
*Set 4 - 2 reps @ 85% (285#)
*Set 5 - 1 rep @ 90% (335#)

followed by...

Back Squat x Max Unbroken Reps @ 80% (265#)
Rest 3 minutes
Back Squat x the same number of reps achieved @ 75% (245#)

-265# x 10 and 245# x 10 ... Kind of fucked up the percentages ... was going off of 350-375# ish ... overall got a solid leg workout out of this ... tough to get back into squatting like this... haven't trained like this in months/years ... overall happy to do it, even if the weights were lighter to what I used to be able to do... the same intensity was there today and I really got to enjoy that.

D.
For time:
40 Calorie Row
30 C2B Pull-ups
20 Ground to Overhead (135/95#)

-6:35 ... had big transitions .... but finished the row in less than 2 minutes, kept a 1200 pace ... C2B pull-ups were 17/8/5 ... G2O were all single C+J ... overall felt pretty decent on this ... my C2B pull-ups are not what they used to be... but I got through them.

E.
ROMWOD

-Complete ... felt amazing after squatting.
