the squat workout was VERY difficult, not because of the weight but because of the 5s rest period. the weight actually felt good – most likely because i was using a 1RM that is probably not as updated as it should be – but it was from the last CFFB total i did. the five rounds of press/pull ups was a challenge. i kipped the pull ups, but they felt fantastic first round and a half – the second round of five pull ups was where i started to feel it and i didn’t feel the press (which is a standing shoulder press – and NOT a push press) until the five rep portion of the 4th round.
was a good workout this morning, good sweat and finished with a nice 400m jog and some stretching 🙂
