Back Squats & C2BPL, RPU, FS Metcon

Lunchtime

1 mile warmup on treadmill

Back Squat
Every minute for 8 minutes
4 x 185#

21-15-9
chest-to-bar pull ups
ring push ups
front squats, 95#
-    time: 6:52 (PR)

Evening
Rock climbed ~2 hours.  5.7-5.9 range, some difficult routes today.

Notes
  • Body: Sore in the shoulders.  Wasn't feeling very strong today at first.
  • Workout: While warming up squatting I did not feel like today would be a very strong day, so I lightened the weight and did this workout focusing on glute activation and evenness.  This metcon I've done before as seen here.  Because I was feeling somewhat weaker than usual, and I wanted to perform well on this metcon, I almost substituted something else instead.  I felt like that was a cop-out, an excuse, and that I should do this WOD no matter if I suck at it or not, it would be a lessen in mental strength.  I did the WOD and pushed through, beating my original time by 1:21, very happy about that.
