Focusing on strength for the next 8 weeks. Starting all lifts at 65%. Ongoing, Thursdays will start with an AM run, and I'll probably add some more accessory work to the lifting session, but I was short on time today.

It still feels weird going so light/low volume this week. More reps/weight and possibly more accessory exercises will be added as the weeks go by. Just have to remember that this is a reset, and I'm letting my body recover from the Open/Regionals season.

Ouch! My metcon sucks right now. I decided to make the switch to high bar back squats today. I think I like the way it leaves my neck feeling a bit better. It should also have an improved impact on the rest of my training versus the low bar squat, and I don't think it will have a considerable impact on my 500# squat goal. Tried to make the swings as competition strict as possible, though I still think it's an excessive extension for the movement.

Frustrating fail on the HC&J; just slipped right out of my hand on the pull. Rope popped off the prowler with about 8 yards to go on the last round, so I had to stop and retie my knot; otherwise, should have been about 7:40.

****! I don't if it's because I under-ate yesterday, drank last night, or just didn't have it in me today, but ****! Squats felt weak, even in the warm-ups. The bar was bothering my neck today, which has never happened before. My first two reps were tough, and on my third I could tell I was leaning way too much; I got up to the top of that rep and went straight for the rack. Bench felt good in the warm-ups, but the 3rd and 4th reps were a fight. Oh well, I knew **** was going to get depressing went my progressions went above 80%. On the plus side, my chin-ups felt great; probably because of how little energy I expended before hand, but I'll take it where I can get it.

Hitting 435 for sets should give me an implied PR somewhere in the 540 range. Nice! My last set of 210 was pretty shaky last week, so I had a feeling that I might fail on thrusters this week. Chin-ups were smooth.

Okay, this was supposed to be the final week of this progression, and it was actually kind of a coin flip. I'd actually toyed with the idea of last week being it and scheduling a vacation for this weekend, but those plans ended up not being in the cards. After struggling with a weight on the deadlifts that I've already done twice, I decided to scrap this weeks progressions and do some long light metcons this week. I'm going to start a modified Conjugate CrossFit program next week, so I might as well rest up for my first round of 1 rep max squats on Thursday. I rested for 2 hours, then:

5k row

20:42.4

This is only 34 seconds over my PR, which isn't bad for not having done much metcon or rowing in several weeks and being about 4 hours removed from lunch.

Last box jump should have been higher, but I didn't measure it first. Could have gone heavier on the good mornings. Should have been able to finish the last set of wall-ball. Wasn't going all out on rows, just strong and steady.

Felt really run down today; I ended up taking a 30 minute nap in the parking lot before coming into the gym to workout. About 3 hours out from lunch before I started. Haven't done rope climbs or ring dips in a while. This one hurt.
