7.1.11 - Back Squats + Deadlifts, Lateral Bar Jumps, & HSPU

238.4

Strength:
Back Squats
3 reps at 185
3 reps at 215
6 reps at 240

then

2 X 10 reps at 205

5/3/1 felt marginally better today than last week (used the same numbers), but still not good. Even my 2 X 10 reps at 205 were kind of lacking in technique. So, what I think I will do is back off of 5/3/1 for now and deload down to something like 185 and do lots and lots of volume and really focus on technique and probably increment by 10 pounds each time. Doing it that way, I should be able to squeeze in 2 squat sessions per week. This would have me up to 245 in 3 weeks. Then, once I feel strong, I'll pick up on the 5/3/1 protocol again.

Metcon:
6 Deadlifts
10 lateral bar jumps
6 HSPU (pike)

8 rounds plus 4 deadlifts
