Week of chill out and get my head straight for the run to Nationals

Squat
255x5 @7
275x3x5 @8
255x5 @7 or 8, super short rest here and getting nice and tired

Then...
2 rounds of
15 shoulder to overhead
30 cal row
45 double unders (I gave up on those in round 2 and did 135 single unders)

Reflections-
My squat went very well. That makes me happy about things.
That workout was not very fun, but I got some cardio in and I need to keep my BW down. But I'm clearly in better shape than I have been.

Thanks, Lakshmi!
Yesterday -row sprints, chins and ab roll outs. Do those mess up your hip flexors?

Ab wheel roll outs mess up my everything.

Ab wheel roll outs mess up my everything.

Good to know. I was bored so wanted to mix up my ab work. I haven't had this pain in a long time. Guess I won't do those.

Final day of get my head right, do whatever week
I ran out of ideas, so I just did this. It seemed better than any other related supplemental ides.

303 Tempo squat
225x5 @7
245x5x3 @8
225x5

I had someone counting for me, so those were hard. It's the 3 count ascent that kills me every time. My brain is screaming-Get out of the hole, GOOOOOOO!

TnG Bench
145x5x3

Paused DL
225x5 and apparently I was pausing about 3/4 of a sec. So...
225x5x3 The wonderful person counting for me is the slowest counter in the world. 1..................2.................. :-)

A great training session!

Boy that's a tough workout! Paused pulls and tempo squats in one session!

Are you training regularly at Boss Barbell?

Yep, and since we have a heat wave for us here, it was super fun.

I am going to try to get to Boss once or twice a week. I think I need a more competitive training environment now and then. And their equipment is awesome.
