Holy Soreness

Holy cow! I woke up feeling extremely sore Wednesday from my back squats on Tuesday. When I woke up on today it wasn't any better. I had to go to DP this morning and I knew it was gonna be a tough go getting loose this morning. My glutes, hamstrings, and calves were the main culprits.

Strength
Front Squats --- 5@65%, 4@75%, 4@80%, 4@85%
bar(10) - 135(8) - 185(8) --- 240 - 275 - 297 - 310
- These were a ever tougher than I thought they would be. I did everything I could to get loose and I was still tight. It was pretty difficult just to keep my heels on the ground during the first 2 warm up sets. During my sets, I felt some slight twinges in my lower back on all four sets right at the bottom. I'm pretty sure my back was surrendered at the bottom because my hamstrings were so tight. I paid for this as the day went on.

WOD
400m Row
 21 Box Jumps (24")
400m Row
 15 Box Jumps
400m Row
 9 Box Jumps
= 7:15
- I did a lot better in this WOD than I thought I was going too. With how stiff and sore my legs were I thought the box jumps were gonna be brutal on my quads. I took the rows somewhat easy, maintained a 1:55ish/500 pace for all three rounds. I left the box downstairs and had to travel up and down between rounds. Off the rower the first round I ran down the stairs and started jumping. The 21s were rough. They were steady, but slow. I just couldn't find a solid groove to stay in and keep rebounding. Ran back up the stairs for round two. Was a little slower heading down for the 15s. The 15s felt better. Towards the end I really got going and finished the set strong. I didn't run up the stairs this time, but I did take em two at a time and was still surprised at how good my legs were holding up. Arms started to die in the pull on the last row. Ran downstairs for the 9s and found my groove on the first rebound and a few seconds later I was done.

Cash Out
ME UB DUs x 5
91- X<10
- My back shut it down! I got 91 the first go and then I had nothing. My CNS was just misfiring left and right. I tried 4-5 more times to get moving and I just couldn't get everything to fall in place again. My back was starting to tighten as I was cooling down and every jump I could feel a little tender spot getting worse. My quads had enough at this point as well. Solid morning in my book.
