Sat CrossFit
I was excited to notice some significant improvements in myself today!
As part of the warm-up, we did 5 sets x 3 reps of back squats. We worked in partners.
My partner & I started at 65lb, and added 10lb for each set. So back squats 3 reps per set: 65lb, 75, 85, 95, 105lb.
I was happy with that since last time we did back squats, I fell backwards when I tried to do 95lb, haha. This time 105lb felt lighter than 95lb did a few months ago. I even might try taking it up another notch next time. My squats themselves are getting better, too. I don't have to put my feet so far apart, I can get lower, and I'm getting better at not letting my knees go inwards.
WOD, 3 rounds for time:
400m run (total 1200m run)
21 kettle bell swings (35lb KB) (total 63 KB swings)
12 pull-ups (medium band) (total 36 pull-ups)
Completed the three rounds in 13:08.
Previously, I had been using the 25lb kettle bell, but it was starting to feel a bit easy, so today I tried the 35lb KB, and it was fine, yay! I was also excited that in all three rounds, I only took one short break, and that was in the very last round of pull-ups. Usually I can't do 12 consecutive pull-ups without resting for a few seconds, but I'm getting better at them, yay!
