Balance Gym (Squat cycle: 11 of 16)
Front squat 2 x 3 @ 75%; 2 x 3 @ 80%; 2 x 3 @ 85%; 3 x 2 @ 80%
175; 185; 200; 185
Then, complete 3 rounds of:
AMRAP towel pull-ups
Rest 30 seconds
AMRAP strict knees-to-elbows
Rest 2 minutes
7/7, 5/8, 5/7
Notes: Well, I survived another week of the squat cycle, but it sure is getting difficult. Legs were zapped from Tuesday's box jump/double-under/burpee metcon. Sets were very difficult at 85% (200#). Definitely a bit of a pinch-forward at the bottom, but I tried my best to maintain form. I'm really hoping that my dillegence with the program will pay off in a few weeks once we start back squatting with heavy loads. I've but a lot of energy into this program and hope that it pays off. Towel pull-ups were brutal on the grip, but a nice change-of-pace. Chris programmed strict toes-to-bar, but I could do those. Scaled to knees-to-elbows and banged out as many as I could each round. Brutal on the abs. No rest for the wicked -- overhead squats in class on Thursday with a metcon.
