Tag: Back Squat

6/14/17

Last day working out at Grassroots CrossFit since I fly back tomorrow. Late-ish bedtime last night meant that getting up at 5:45am wasn’t exactly fun!

We started with back squats doing 3×1@85-90% then 1×3 at 80-85%. I ended up doing:

1×5@135
1×3@185
1×2@225
3×1@245
1×3@215

Then, we jumped into a metcon of:

3 rounds for time:

400m sandbag run
20 T2B
20 Box Jump Over

Time: 14:30

The sandbag run was grueling! Broke up the T2B in 11-9 for the first two rounds then 11-5-4 for the last round.

Had to scale this one down to 185# on the back squat. Did all of those unbroken. The main hurdle was transitioning over my head. Did the HSPU in sets of 3 up to 15 and then 2/1 afterwards.

Jeremey – 230#
Charlotte – 155#

Compare to 11/29/16. 5# increase from the last time we did this. I could’ve probably gone heavier, but I didn’t want to push it. My back is feeling a bit off since Nancy on Monday. After each odd set, I did a set of muscle-ups. I ended up getting 5 in a row on my third set (pr!). Starting to feel more comfortable in the kip for sure.

Strength
5×10 Back Squat @ 165#

Went light on the back squat today and worked on foot positioning with Eric. All of the reps were done with a band around my knees forcing me to push out. My feet were hip width apart with toes pointed forward.

Met Con
10 min AMRAP:

5 Shoulder to Overhead (115/75)
10 Deadlift (115/75)
15 Box Jump (24/20)

Jeremey: 7+16

Nice little PR! My previous score was 6+6 a little less than a year ago. For this round, I did step-ups instead of box jumps (still Rx) and cycled the push presses faster. My shoulders felt stronger as well.
