Today I decided to make it a strength day. One of the days from CFSB just to give it a go to see what it would be like. Yep.....I'm tired. That's a good thing! I worked my butt off today and you can better believe I stretched too. Someone asked me what do I do for stretching at home. If you go to the box, for the most part those are the stretches I do sans pull-ups, ring dips (that's just because my rings aren't up in my house but I do have rings!). I have a pvc pipe for whirly birds, OHS, pass through. I have an abmat for sit-ups, a box for jumps. A very nice wall for squat therapy and the oh so wonderful couch stretch. I also have a pvc pipe wrapped in a yogi (yes I meant to spell it that way) mat. I just do a little bit of everything as far as stretching at home nothing over the top.
Front Squat
5 x 3
145, 165, 190 #s
The goal of course was for me to fail on the last set while of course giving everything I had. Let me tell you I BARELY got the last rep in. If it had been 5 pounds more, it shouldn't have happened. So while I did not fail, I can assure you I had to work for that and felt like I had just finished a metcon.
Back Squat
1 x 15-20
185#
I would say it was about 3-5 minutes after the front squats did I attempt the back squat. By the 5th one my body was screaming put the weight down! I managed to get to 15 but no more.
The above workouts were not the WOD at the box today. The WOD for today:
21-15-9 reps rounds of
Deadlift (70% 1RM) 225#
Box jumps 24'' I did 30''
Time: 6:56
Since we got new 30'' boxes in last nite, I couldn't just stare at them and not use it! Yeah my hamstrings are definitely done. Rest day tomorrow i.e. lots of stretching.
