Tuesday 8 May 12

CFDC

RDLs 5 x 5

185, 185, 185, 205, 225

Skill work:  walk walkers, handstand holds (facing wall), shoulder touches

Metcon:  Complete the following:

AMRAP in 3 minutes of DB press (40#) & matching reps of air squats
Rest 2 minutes
AMRAP in 4 minutes of DB push press & matching reps of side hurdles
Rest 2 minutes
AMRAP in 5 minutes of DB push jerk & matching reps of overhead medicine ball hurls

Notes:  Nice to be back in the groove.  I decide to make up the RDLs from Sunday and was able to work much heavier than I have in the past.  My mobility took me to about knee-level; however, anything past that point led my shoulders to round.  The difficulty for me was in maintaining positioning on the descent, not returning the standing.  I can see how RDLs are a great accessory movement for building the deadlift and squat.  I gave a decent effort on the metcon, but still kept things in the comfort zone.  Looking forward to front squatting on Wednesday and back squatting on Sunday!
