6/16/10 - Back Squats Wk 3 + Elizabeth (Power Cleans & Ring Dips)

242.6

Note: This reading looked low so I weighed myself several times for the following measurements: 242.6, 242.6, 243, 243.6. I really need to get a new scale. The low reading may have something to do with all the water I've been drinking. I've been pounding down the water the last few days after I found myself getting dehydrated last week. While I would tend to think that a higher hydration level would mean a higher scale reading, it may also be having the impact of reducing cravings and improving performance, thereby leading to a little more marginal weight loss. Bit of a mystery though.

Strength:
Back Squats Wk 3
Set 1: 5 reps at 150
Set 2: 3 reps at 170
Set 3: 7 reps at 190 

I did not feel strong on the last set of squats. I wonder if it has something to do with all the air squats on Monday and the thrusters yesterday.

Metcon:
"Elizabeth"
Complete 21-15-9
Power Clean, 135/105
Ring Dips

12:54 RX on the weight. Green band on the dips. 


Note: the Power Cleans were hard, but one good thing was that I felt like I was really using my legs and getting some explosiveness out of them. The ring dips were a bit of a joke. We hardly ever do dips of any kind and trying to do them on rings is just that much harder.

Food:
Yogurt Mix
Grande Latte
Salad Bar
