8/20/25

So this AM was rough... overall I felt solid going through this, but fell apart during the conditioning workout ... During the 3rd set of bike calories my hamstrings started seizing up a lot and I cut out the last two sets of squats ... this was disheartening, but I just haven't been squatting or bike sprinting hard and it caught up with me in a big way... this sucked, but definitely is a motivator to continue to get back in shape and get my lower body where it needs to be... I have focused a ton on my upper body strength the last couple years and I need to continue that, but also get my lower body back in shape. Anyway, got a lot out of this, even if I did DNF the WOD ... I also intended to get in a bodybuilding leg session later in the day... but the workday just exploded and I wasn't able to get anything in. Tomorrow is another day. 

A.

Every 2:30 for 6 sets: 

Back Squat

5-3-1

5-3-1 


-225# x5, 275# x 3, 325# x 1, 275# x 5, 325# x 3, 375# x 1 


B.

Every 2:30 for 20 minutes (4 sets) of:

Station 1: :30 Max Effort Assault Bike Cals 

Station 2: :30 Max Effort Front Squats (185/125#)


-Result = 32/22/22/21 calories and 10/10/0/0 front squats ... had to skip the last 2 sets of front squats due to my hamstrings seizing up ... hoping to recover and bounce back from this quickly.
