Headed into the 11:30AM class today. Great to get back in the gym and work out with other people for a change although I do love getting it done in the garage.
We started with a doozy of a strength set.
Strength
EMOM for 8 min alternating betwee:
- 4 Front Squats
- 8 Back Squats
This was prescribed at 67% of your 1RM Back Squat. In our recent powerlifting cycle, that ended up being 315# so I went with 211# on the bar. The last few front squats were challenging but definitely doable.
Legs felt like jello headed into the metcon.
Metcon
9-6-3-6-9 reps for time of:
- Burpee Box Jump Over (30″)
- Bar Muscle-ups
Time: 9:29
I was a hero for the first few rounds and did the 9-6-3 all unbroken on the bar. I did take the burpees more cautiously knowing that I would need some extra recovery time there. I had to break my second set of 6 up into 4/2 and then finally 4/2/2/1 for the final set of 9. Ultimately, if I did this again, I would break up the reps sooner and possibly go sets of 3-4 the entire time instead of trying to go unbroken. Ego got the best of me!
