6/29/10 - Back Squats for 1 RM + Air Squats & Power Snatch Metcon

243.0

Strength:
Back Squat or Front Squat

5-5-5-5-5
or
3-3-3-1-1

230 (PR) Note: I tried to go from 225 to 240 but it was kinda half-assed and ROM wasn't close enough for me to count it. So, I went back  and did 230. I could have tried 235, but even at 230 my butt wasn't quite touching so I called it good right there.


We'll start the new 5/3/1 cycle the week after next. I'm split whether I should go up 5 or 10 pounds. 5 would probably be better. Actually, the goal in 7 weeks or so, when we PR again, should be to get to at least 240 with complete ROM. My sense is that going up 5 is more likely to get me there. I'm also wondering if it would be good to mix in a set of Front Squats with the regular 5/3/1 stuff.


Metcon:
3 rounds of
50 Air Squats

10 Power Snatch, #115/#65

9:29 at #75. Good benchmark workout.
