  • CFP: 5/3/1C w1 - back squats Workout

    Just me at CFP today.

    Warmup:
    500m run, lots of stretching & mobility stuff, ankle stretches, cossack squats, flow dynamic warmup, divebomber pushups, bridges, and so on.

    S&S:
    W1 of 5/3/1 back squats
    5 x 125#
    5 x 135#
    5+ x 155# (14 reps)

    Gutted out the last few of the 14 reps with much grunting and effort. Felt good to do that, though.

    WOD:
    3 rounds
    5 front squats (95#)
    15 over-the-bar burpees
    20 pullups (banded)
    Finish: 14:00

    Really tough. Always nice to be able to use my weightlifting shoes for the whole thing, though.

    LATER:
    1 hr walk with Malley & Stanley
