Trained with Niki today at her gym, Black Box Fitness in Albuquerque, site of our Level 1 Seminar this weekend.
Squat
450x5 - PR (technically)
Notes: I actually felt awful going into today; all the travel this past week and especially yesterday really tightened up my back; I've also not been eating or sleeping on a normal schedule at all since Sunday. I was very stiff despite a bunch of rolling and some mobility work. Warm-ups felt off all the way up, and during the 450 set, I felt like someone else was doing it and I didn't have control over my own body. They got ugly at the end as I didn't maintain tightness and got forward, but I managed to stand back up despite the technique deviations.
I'm quite sure I could do more given a normal week without 4 plane flights and regular eating and schedule, but technically this is the most I've done for a set of 5; I'll take it.
Power Cleans
A bunch of doubles and triples from 135 to 205; then 225x2x3.
Notes: Niki noted I wasn't fully extending my hips here, so I worked on that. Sarah also noticed that the other week; I must be leaving a lot of weight off my cleans so I'll need to work on this.
C2 Erg Intervals
30s Row / 90s Rest x 7
First two warm-ups @ 1:52, 1:41, then 5 @ 1:37, 1:37, 1:36, 1:35, 1:20.6 (went all out on the last one). They told me before the last one that Albuquerque is at about 5,000 ft elevation. That explains some things about today.
