Buy-in: 3 rounds
10 overhead lunges w/15# medicine ball
10 supermans
15 air squats
15 situps
My buy-ins seem to be getting a little monotonous - need to mix them up more.
WOD: Strength
Back squat 3 x 5
Warmup sets:
- 2 x 5 @ 45#
- 2 x 5 @ 65#
- 1 x 5 @ 85#
- 3 x 5 @ 105#
Presses 3 x 5
Warmup set: 1 x 5 @ 45#
Work sets: 3 x 5 @ 55#
Last reps of each set were a little shaky. Interestingly enough, the elbow twinges on the way down, but not on the way up.
Deadlifts 1 x 5
Warmup sets:
- 1 x 5 @ 95#
- 1 x 5 @ 115#
- 1 x 3 @ 135#
I know I can go heavier on DLs. But every time I start entertaining the thought, I have to remind myself to "TAKE IT EASY ON THE ELBOW or you'll be back at square one!"
Cash out: Rolling planks - 3 rounds, :30 each position for 6:00 total.
Shout-out to Patrick Haskell for this great idea.
On a musical note (hee), I've found that listening to Apocalyptica really helps me focus during the lifts. Harmeggedon and For Whom the Bell Tolls are awesome for squats and deadlifts.
