Ah, good ol' back squats. I was plenty happy to be doing back squats today. I love the days when the WOD is more strength focused than cardio. Which probably means I really need to work more on my cardio. I know. ;)
WOD
21-15-9 Rep rounds for time of:
Back squats (Men 135 lbs, Women 95 lbs)
Toes to bar
My time: 8:10 Rx
Normally I would wuss out and go from a rack on this, because I hate cleaning the bar and then taking it to my back. More specifically I hate the taking it to my back part. It scares me. But I managed okay and went Rx on this one - from the ground. I did all the back squats unbroken - yay me! Toes to bar were not too awful, though my kip seems to be just completely gone these days. I was proud of my time today and super excited that I did something Rx for a change! It's been a while.
Strength today was, of course, back squats!
Rep scheme: 5-3-2-2-1-1-1
My loads: 85-105-115-135-155-175-185
All my lifts felt pretty good once I got past the sound of my knees cracking. Yuck. Sounded like bubble wrap popping. On my lift at 175# I noticed I leaned slightly forward on the way back up. Such a bad habit and a good way to get hurt. But I'm fine.
