WOD

Overhead squat 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Front squat 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Back squat 1-1-1-1-1 reps

Try to increase the load on each of the fifteen sets.

OHS 45 - 45 - 55 - 60 - 65(PR)
Front Squat 70 - 75 - 80 - 95 - 100(PR)
Back Squat 135 - 155 - 195 - 205 - 210(PR)

PR's on all - well, you know, the OHS and the front squat were my first tries at PR so I held back. I wanted to follow the protocol of increasing on each set (I think they meant rep.) I really need work on the OHS. I was pleasantly surprised with my performance on the front squat - I can beat that PR. I felt very good on the back squats. I had better form on the 205 than when I did it last time - the 210 wasn't so bad. I need to get this number up.

Hey Brad,

You're doing well! How is the elbow holding up?

I've been out of training for a while due to my wife being ill again, but looking to get going again now. Stopping by here to pick up some motivation :-)

Hey Lars!

Join us with a blog - get off your @$$!

Hope your wife is doing ok. Elbow is ok - It is definitely nerve related. Some days there is no pain at all. Others - like fire.

Sure would love to see you get back into it!

Holy PR day today Batman! What did ya'll eat today? ;) You and Splint better get me some... :P That work today was solid. Good deal! :)

Thanks Katie - I have a long way to go on the OHS. That's okay 'cause I really haven't pushed them yet. The same goes for the front squats. I can do better still. The first time is always a PR isn't it?

I still like that Splint is ahead of me as it gives me something I can try to achieve. Watching his progress over the last few months has been very amazing. I have said - if I get to do like he does, then I'll be on my way.

Hehe, getting off my back side isn't quite the problem, more like putting it down long enough to actually think something through :)

But, I'm getting there. 10k mostly uphill on the bike last night. I dread the stairs today.

Might think about the blog thing. Could be just the accountability thats needed.

It's working for me.

Hmm, now I'm scared. Good thing the local swimming pool is closed for renovations :)

Oh now Brad... am I really THAT bad? ;)
