Tuesday 16.4: Back squats

Tuesday. 5-5-5-3-2 (max 130kg). L-sit hold.

I've done some benchmark workouts the previous days so it was time to skip metcons for today and concentrate in strength training. Toni is having a metcon-full week and it was time to go for another long workout.

Strength. 5-5-5-3-2 (100, 110, 120, 125, 130kg). My goal was to do sets of 5 reps and hopefully push it through 130kg. Well, that was not even close! I made it with 120kg, then at 125 I took 3 reps and a double at 130kg. I got the third one as well but that was assisted by Toni. My warm-up was good and legs felt good but I suppose all those tough workouts had their share in my strength training. Last time I squatted it was after a rest day and I hit a bit heavier weights that time.

Cashout. Tried for how long it's possible to L-sit. 2 attempts, 36 seconds at first try.
  • 2 x ME L-sit hold. 36sec, 22sec
Back extensions
Toni's workout. Ring hold for starters, 3-round metcon and 3x15 (50kg) bench press for cashout.
  • 3 rounds of
  • 30 lunges
  • 50 squats
  • 25 back extensions
  • Metcon's time 18.41
