I'll Accept It This Time

Thought about ditching out again on DP this morning, but the sweet smell of 5#s of Kalua Pork roasting in my oven all night got me out of bed pretty easily. Mya usually waits for me to go downstairs with her so I can feed her on my way out the door. The smell had her tail wagging as soon as I sat up in bed. She ran downstairs while I went to the bathroom and ran back up in excitement by the time I got out. I love that dog! Plus, the Friday DP crew never disappoints!

Strength
Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1@70-77-85-93-101%
bar(10) - 135(5) - 185(5) - 225(3) - 255(3) --- 285 - 312 - 345 - 375 - 405 - 425 PR
- Always excited to squat!! Super excited because I finally get to set a 1RM. Since starting Crossfit, 1RM Back Squat day has always eluded me. I've worked up to a heavy four (365), but never a 1RM. I even had a squatting buddy, Ritchie, to push me a little today. Everything felt solid. Back felt strong through out all lifts.
- I was super stoked about hitting 425 at first, then I saw the video of it. I wasn't quite sure that I hit the proper depth. Watching it back on phone really had me questioning my lift. I got to work and watched it on my computer and feel better about it. At the lowest point, I'm definitely there. I'm still not happy with it though. I typically live in the realm that if you question it, it probably isn't. I'm gonna change up training squats and start going A2A for depth, which in turn will help get me out of the hole in my Oly lifts anyway.

425lbs Back Squat

WOD
15-12-9-6-3
OHS subbed Back Squats (115#)
Burpees
= 5:38
- Disappointed in that I couldn't do this WOD. My shoulder felt better, but not good enough. I thought it would be alright. I tried 2-3 reps just before the WOD started and I couldn't even get halfway. Last second switch to Back Squats so I wouldn't slow the class up anymore.
- Looking back wish I would have done Snatches instead or gone up to 135 on the weight for Back Squats. I moved well through the WOD though for what I did do. Burpees were a ton easier though without having to do OHS.
- Going to see the miracle worker, Dr Sing, tonight. Hopefully, he can do his Mr Miagi magic to fix things up.
