Another Back Squat PR

Arms are finally starting to feel better from earlier in the week. Hamstrings are pretty tight from the hang work yesterday, but feeling good otherwise.

Strength
Back Squat - 20 mins. to est. 5RM
bar(10) - 135(8) - 185(5) - 225(5) ---- 275 - 315 - 365 - 385 - 395 PR
- Happy about this one. It's been a while since I've squatted with my busy schedule so I was glad to put the bar on my back tonight. I had hopes of 405, but it'll come! 395 was well earned. Almost lost it on the last rep about two-thirds of the way up, but was able to fight it out. Looking forward to the rest of this cycle.

WOD
"Death By 10m"
= 16 + 14
- I needed a good sweat wod and this great for the rough week back. We did this one a little over a year ago, just after Prevail opened and I got one less rep (16+14). My awesome wife actually gave me the extra motivation to push a little harder today. My legs were pretty tight and heavy after squatting so I was thinking ending at 16 or somewhere in the 15s for the day. She stayed with me every rep to 16. We finished with 3 seconds left. She stopped and I kept going. At that point I beat her and i just wanted to be done. I really did try to make 17, but it wasn't happening. Now I said my wife was AWESOME and I meant it because we got home and she looked back at her old score from a year ago and she beat it by 4 whole rounds. I'm so proud of the hard work she has put in and progress she has made because of it...not just physically, but mentally as well.
