Rowed for 24 minutes since broken moniter prevents me from knowing the distance rowed (probably more like 6K row).
Brutal to do almost 2 days in a row, but a great workout. Definitely felt the stroke more this time and appreciated the practice.
Prior to row, did heavy back squats working up to heavy set of 3 reps
Back Squats:
3 x 285
3 x 295
3 X 305
3 X 320
Did 315 for 3 reps on 12/29/09. I think this is a legit PR for my heaviest squat for reps for in recent history (last 6-8 years). Felt good and it was able to get into a pretty deep squat. Pretty happy with this considering heavy snatch yesterday and 5k Row day before that.
Only time I went heavier recently was for a single with 345 lbs on 7/01/09 (and again on 10/15/09) as part of a Crossfit Total.
I try not to remember that I could knock out sets of 15 - 20 with 315 lbs. back when I was 20 years younger and was in my 6th year of playing football. But I also couldn't have run a 5K in under 27 minutes then, among other things I can do now, so I am still at a much better overall fitness level.
