There Will Be Sweat

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

CFSB Day 15

Kicked things off with some light stretching and a broad jump/situp warmup. I opted to make up the heavy squat day that I missed earlier in the week. A few hip opening drills, some warmup sets, then heavy squats:

Back Squats

  • 1 x 295lb
  • 1 x 315lb *FAIL*
  • 1 x 315lb *FAIL*
  • 1 x 305lb *FAIL*
  • 3 x 5 x 225lb

Total shitshow. My rhythm, timing, and positioning were all off today. I did some back-off sets with 225 to get a better feel for it. I’m going to try this again next week. Finished with some rowing:

  • Tabata row (1060m total distance)

This was pretty tough, but not in the way I’m used to with Tabata. It’s hard to hit a max effort row over 20 second intervals because the stroke rate doesn’t necessarily go up, you just need to pull harder. I kept a light, slow row during the rest intervals to avoid having to start from scratch on every work set.

Weigh-in: 180lb
