30 minutes to find your 1 Rep Max Back Squat.
8 min AMRAP
2-4-6-8-10-etc (ascending reps per round)
Ball Slam 30#/20#
Wall Ball Shot 20#/14#
245# back squat
12+10 AMRAP
I was disappointed in my back squat. I hit 245# easily, but then bailed on 265#. I should have stayed with the lift, but I guess I am getting conservative in my old age (as CS said “It isn’t worth it”). So no Rocket PR for me today, and I find it unlikely anyways I would get close to my lifetime PR any time soon.
The AMRAP was suitably tiring. Most people today got into round 14, but I don’t think I was going that slow. I still break up wall balls in sets of 5, though, maybe I should just start powering through them in AMRAPs.
I went back to open gym hours and did a lot more back squats, since in trying to get a 1RM I didn’t really get that much squat work in (in spite of the AMRAP)
