Doubles

Got some much needed rest last night. Had an institute day at school so I got to sleep in a little more and see my kiddos before I went to work this morning. I sat around all day at work in meetings...by the end of the day I was dying to be outside and moving around. I was pretty excited heading into Prevail tonight because it was heavy back squat day. My quads are feeling a ton better after running on them yesterday (still thankful for the lessons I learned in solid high school lifting program). Still had a little lingering stiffness, but nothing horrible.

Strength
Back Squat --- 6@70%, 6@80%, 3@90%, 2@95%
bar(8)-135(8)-185(8)-225(6)-265(6)---300-340-385-405
- Felt friggin' GREAT tonight!! Had a ton of explosion out of the hole through every rep. No back pain! Plenty of depth! 405 felt great! I thought about hitting a 3rd rep, but was mindful enough to curb my enthusiasm and save it for max day in a few more weeks. Body is definitely acclimating to the stress of the cycle. Seeing a lot of good squats and numbers from others too. Got to rotate under the bar with Alex and Chris tonight. Chris is getting better and better under the bar.

WOD
21-15-9
 Hang Power Snatches (95#)  (UB--10-5--9)
 Row (cals)
 Sit ups
= 6:31
- Fun WOD. Alex, Chris, and I stayed together and pushed each other. They used the GHD for sit ups (unfortunately, I believe the GHD messes with my back so I stayed on the Abmat). Felt strong thru the snatches. My grip started to go in the round of 15 so I had to put it down just long enough to re-grip. Rows were slow and powerful. Cranked the damper up to 10 and tried to crank out a cal/pull. I was pretty close for most them. Sit ups were sit ups. Good moving WOD and fun with the fellas.
