CFDC (Squat cycle: 14 of 16)
Squat 3 x 2 @ 95%
270# (with belt)
Then, GHRs 3 x 5 (perform 15 hollow rocks between each set)
Metcon: 20 burpees
Post-metcon: handstand walk practice
Notes: Monster session! Legs felt heavy on the warm-up sets, but I really came to life once the working sets started. I really focused on sitting "back" into the heels on my decent rather than dropping straight down. This helped keep my posterior chain engaged at the bottom of the movement and I was able to blast through my usual sticking point. Used the belt for the first time and I think it was helpful. It didn't put it on very tightly, but it still gave some support. Tom wanted us to use it this week to prepare for the heavier attempts coming over the next two weeks. I've been reluctant to use a belt, but I think its probably appropriate at these types of weight. Nice to work some GHRs, too. Couldn't believe that I was actually able to walk on my hands for a little while. I crashed hard a few times, though, which wasn't fun. Definitely something to work on in the future.
