  1. High bar back squats:
    warmup: 45x5x2, 75x5, 115x3, 125x2
    work:
    145x5
    145x1xf, picked up and then did 145x4
    145x2xf, picked up and then did 145x3
    Failures due to shifting weight into toes and then tipping forward beyond the point of no return -- seems like some kind of balance issue or just not being familiar with the bottom position of high bar squats yet. Otherwise challenging but not impossible.

    Press: 45x5x2, 60x5, 70x5, 75x5 (last one was very hard), 80x1xf, 70x5
    Definitely at the end of linear progression on presses.

  2. Did this on Tuesday:
    Back Squats:
    45x5
    95x5
    135x3
    185x2
    205x2
    225x2
    235x3x5
    Felt good lifting that weight. The last rep has always been the toughest one to overcome, but I braced myself and stayed tight!

    Bench Press:
    95x5
    135x2
    155x5
    165x5
    165x5 needed Inish's assistance to finish the last two reps! Also my shoulders were feeling the tremendous load and I felt a slight pinch.

    Metcon:5 rounds
    10 one arm KB swings per side (50lbs)
    10 Kipping pull-ups
    20 double unders
    Finished it in 9:13 or 9:30 mins - was dead by the end so could not resolve the two numbers!

    Did a lot of spine and shoulder rolling with the lacrosse ball.

  3. Back squat
    Failed at 245.
    I think it was a combination of poor form, inadequate warm up, and leg soreness.

    Got 235*5(*3) but it was way harder than last week.

    Bench
    245*5(*3)

    A little soreness in right pec or I might've pushed it more.

    Metcon 53#kb
    8:48? I don't remember. Double unders are always hard in these types of metcons.
