    Hammered out Grace before doing today's WOD. Reps 4 and 5 were tough today.

    225 / 265 / 308 / 318 / 330

    No more working in kg's and multiplying by 2.2 during my WOD's. 24 hours before I go to Amsterdam, and Tuesday morning I'm on the big bird back to the best country in the world! Later fellas,

    Mike

    WODoers:

    Did the wide stance box squats from the Dave Tate video on the journal. Went down to a 14" box, so well past parrallel. I can definetly see how I will be able to go way heavier with the power lifter version once my hamstrings learn to fire at the bottom. Today though I was just happy I never got stuck on the box. However, I bet I'm so fucking sore I can barely walk tomorrow. Definitely used new muscles. It was fun to try somethng new.

    I alternated deadhang pullups in between sets to work on my weakness. Got 225PR,235PR,245PR,255-f,235,225. The PR's are kinda weird, cuase the last time we did this in Feb my max round was 205. But looking at the recent 3x5 back squats on 4-20, I knew I could start higher.
