There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

CFSB Day 158

Today was the first day of the new Wendler 5/3/1 squat cycle, which is exciting. Started with warmup 1:

  • 20 Hollow rocks
  • 15 Squats
  • 10 Pushups
  • 10 Strict pullups

Repeat 3x

Squats:

  • 5 x 120lb
  • 5 x 155lb
  • 3 x 185lb
  • 5 x 195lb
  • 5 x 225lb
  • 10 x 255lb*

First three sets were warmup sets. All numbers were calculated using a handy 5/3/1 iphone app and based off of a 335lb 1RM (which is the heaviest I’ve squatted recently). That last set is a rep-out. I was shooting for more reps, but it felt heavy today. Then onto the WOD.

8 min AMRAP:

  • 10 Pushups
  • 15 Pullups
  • 20 KB Swings (53lb)

Score: 3 rounds + 15 pullups. The pullup / KB swing combo always wears on my hands so I put the brakes on a bit to make sure I didn’t rip anything. Still a tough little workout.
