Sunday 8 Apr 12

CFDC (Squat cycle: 2 of 16)

Squat 3 x 6 @ 75%

214#

Then, sumo speed pulls 10 x 2 @ 165#

Notes: I had been worried all week that my sickness would prevent me from keeping pace with the squat cycle, but I was able to do so. Actually, my squats felt quite good. Leg strength was definitely there. I need to keep working the mobility, though. My bar speed certainly slowed on the last few reps of each set, but it was never a major grind. We move to 6 x 3 @ 80% next week, which is 228# for me, but I feel pretty confident at this point. My speed pulls were very explosive as my form has improved on these and I'm able to really get the weight back on my heels, almost to the point of falling backward. I decided to skip the metcon because I had already pushed myself really hard today and didn't want to risk getting sick again.
