I definitely need to work this movement more. My left shoulder still tweeks a bit on overhead movements, so I didn't pursue too much today. I wanted to get my mind and body ready for OHS....:evilsmile

[B]REST DAY[/B] :yawn:

Really drained today. I needed this rest day. Tomorrow, I tackle my final week of heavy squatting. Looking forward to seeing if my 5 week programming paid off and new PR.

[I]Warm up consisted of 50 rope singles, 4x 275# squats and stretching[/I]

[B]Strength[/B]

Back Squats-90% of 1RM
3x2 295#

I felt pretty solid on the first lift, but kind of struggled on the last rep/second set....I thought it over and knew that my foot placement was off. I was trying to get a wider stance than normal. I went back and did a third set (1 rep) to be sure.
With that said, I loaded another 45# to the bar and went for it. New PR at 340# :kicking0: I did notice that I was fighting the weight on the way down. So, at the bottom, I thought I was stuck. I went to that "place" and gutted it up. I am happy that I got the lift but wondering if it was the recent programming...:shrug: I'll take it though. As long as I am making gains is all that matters. Looking to try something new with my squats later in the week.

It was a beautiful morning and I wanted to do something outdoors, so I went to a local school to use the track, and they have big a** tires to flip:D

[I]Calisthenics and active stretching[/I]

[B]WOD[/B]

4 rds
8 tire flips 245#
10 KBS 50#
20 hammer strikes

The tire was the largest that was at the school field, so I used it. I tried to keep a steady pace on the 400s; 1:45 was about average.
