My feeling was good and I was well awake as I jumped into my car and headed to the box. However, I arrived at 7.10 and was supposed to be in a meeting 8.00 so I had to rush to do my squats. This was not the intention and I couldn't reach my max effort. This was somewhat a disappointment as I planned to accomplish heavier lifts than I did. Toni also did some front squats and Tabata training.
Strength. Front and back squat singles.
- Front squat 1-1-1-1 (100, 110, 120, 125kg failed)
- Back squat 1-1-1-1-1 (100, 110, 120, 125, 130kg failed)
I only took some double unders, bear complex with a cold bar and then two sets of overhead squats before entering front squats. Probably the shortest warm-up ever, not a good decision. I must repeat this workout with good preparation and add overhead singles for starters. The idea of going after ohs + fs + bs singles is to increase the load after each single rep.
Front squat, 120kg
I took 120kg up front squatting which is my current max. Okay, that was a job well done but this was only a single rep so I was looking to go further. I added 5kg to the bar and missed the rep. My back squats went well and my 125kg was even easier than 120kg, which sounds a bit awkward :) After short recovery I tried 130kg but it stayed low for a second or two and I had to drop the barbell. Then it was time to run to the showers. After 125kg I was confident to go after a new PR but it was too hasty to go after it this time.
Toni's workouts. Toni PR'd his front squat and did "Tabata This" as well.
Front squat 3-3-3-2-1 (70, 80, 85, 90, PR 95kg)
Tabata This: row 8, squats 15, pull-ups 3, push-ups 5, sit-ups 9
