New Overhead Squat PR/Metcon
My new overhead squat PR is 75 pounds. I started with 2k on the rower, making 8:48 with the damper at 5. Because this is my warm-up, I don’t kill myself on this, but I do like to make it below 9:00, and I think I pretty much always do. I then did my typical muscle warm-up. Then I decided to switch up my typical overhead squat. I warmed up with five reps with just the bar, like always, then did 5-5-3-3-3-2-2 with 65-65-70-70-70-75-75. My form suffered a little on the last set, so I will stick with 75 for a bit. I also did two dead-hang pull-ups in a row, which is also a new PR.
I was trying to decide what to do today for metcon. I need to do more of it, but a lot of them are difficult for me because 1.) I am not good at pull-ups and 2.) because a lot of them involve circuit work with equipment that tends to be in use while I am at the gym. That being said, I found this travel WODs website that is mostly body weight stuff, with some jump rope thrown in. I decided to do Day 30 today, which was 3-5 rounds for time of:
-100 single-unders
-50 air squats
I did three rounds in 10:03. Then I drilled handstands. Then I came home and drilled handstands on the parallettes. I can get up without help now, but I was pretty tired from all the handstands I did yesterday, plus it was thundering outside, so I kept it short. I came inside, did a 10-second L-sit, then took a shower and then carefully razored off all my calluses.
Now: lunch.
