Back squats - work up to a 3RM for today

Completed: 90kg

And all 3 of these reps were hard as hell - each felt like a 1RM attempt lol.

The wall balls felt heavy today! I finished the lateral bar burpees in the first wod with about 16 secs to spare, then quickly moved to the bar to try and get at least 2 reps in before time was up. Stoked I managed to do 4 quick reps!

The second wod was even more painful - 40 wall ball reps still felt like 50 lol. And with the last - I remember having about 1.30 mins to complete the rounds, surprised myself with being able to not only finish but get two burpees in the second round.

STRENGTH Back Squat 3RM

Oh boy. It's not really a secret that I have STRUGGLED with squats for awhile -- especially 3RM and 5RMs. I've been stuck at 93# for almost a goddamn year. So I was elated to PR my 3RM with 98# last night. And it felt LIGHT. I would have had 103# in the bag, I know I would, but a friend convinced me to call it there and save my energy for the AMRAP. Chest up, split the bar, knees out. Works every time.

METCON CF OPEN 12.1 Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of: Burpees This workout begins from a standing position. The Athlete will move from flat on the ground to touching an object with both hands that is 6 inches above their max reach. Score is total reps completed. AMRAP

Not as awful as I thought it would be. I scored 64 reps, which was average for the women's score at my gym. The highest women's score was 98. OH OK. I was just glad that I paced myself. I kept moving the entire time and found a pretty good rhythm. I actually think I prefer touching the bar overhead on each rep? Made everything more methodic.

Not CrossFit related (or is it?): I AM SO HUNGRY I WANT TO EAT EVERYTHING IS IT TOO EARLY TO GO TO LUNCH NOW BYE.
