5x5/3/1 - c24w3d5
Thursday - 11 May 2023
Workout: Extra conditioning, 1240-1305 (25 minutes)
(Modified) Garage Barbell 3 WOD - 3 rounds
In 3 minutes: 15 squats - 195 lbs; AMRAP push-ups
In 2 minutes: 5 box jumps - 30-inch; 3 pull-ups
It seems I can deadlift then squat—but that was a WHOLE LOT OF SUCK in less than 15 minutes…
Push-ups went: (1) 35, 15, 10; (2) 30, 10, 10, 5; (3) 10, 10, 10, 10, 5 for 160 total, or 6 more than last time I did the deadlift-now/squat-later bit.
Oh, and I either did 14 squats in Round 3, or 16, but I definitely did not do 15: I made it through 12 straight before pausing for 3 deep breaths, and I’m pretty sure I picked up the count at 13, but I found myself at 14 without realizing what happened. (No oxygen was making it to my brain, it would seem.)
Normally when I lose count, I do two MORE reps at wherever I think I am (so 3 total at that number), but I just didn’t have it in me, so I only did two reps at “14” before moving on to 15. I thought about doing two reps at “15” as well, but my legs and my lungs were telling me I was actually at 16 by that point, so I called it.
Really happy with the effort today: I was legit nervous about it most of the morning, but I absolutely crushed it!
