7/29/17

Felt like ass in the gym today... probably due to the lack of sleep / hiking 17 miles in the last two days ... forced myself into the gym and got the squatting in for the squat program we are doing. This squats felt HORRIBLE from the start... my body was just exhausted ... it was a huge struggle, but I got all the reps.

A.
5 Sets of:
4 Front Squats + 8 Back Squats @ 265# = 78% of 90% of 1 RM Front Squat (365#)
Rest as needed

-This was the worst squatting has felt since starting the cycle ... but I know it is just because I've been traveling / hiking etc. Got all the reps in, even if it was a huge struggle.

B.
5 RFT:
4 Muscle-ups
8 Strict HSPU
10 Single-Arm Overhead DB Lunges (75/50#)

-18:01 ... this workout was really tough for me ... 40 strict HSPU were hard, and the 50 lunges were absolutely terrible. I haven't done unilateral stuff this heavy and it was a battle for me. This workout gassed my shoulders like nothing I've done in a long time. I need to get good at these. I could have gone faster had I done more reps with my right arm, but I was trying to split up the reps equally between my right and left. Overall a very humbling workout that kicked my ass. My fiance finished this workout in 10:43, she just blew through it while I was struggling with the lunges.
