Texas, week 10, intensity

Warm-up:
back squat (doubles to 225#)

2-2 back squat (250,255 [dnf last rep])

Crossfit WOD 091308
"The Chief"
Max rounds in 3 minutes of:
3 power cleans (135#)
6 pushups
9 squats

Rest 1 minute. Repeat for a total of 5 cycles.

I scaled this to "Son of the Chief" by cutting it in half (3 cycles: first 3 minutes, second 3 minutes, third 1.5 minutes). Managed 3-3-1 rounds. Rx'd weight is probably a bit too heavy for me, became more of a strength-endurance workout than a lung-burner.

Did the scaled WOD cause the squats felt bad enough that I knew I didn't have energy for heavy singles. Video of a warm-up set here and the first set at 250# here, compare the knee positions coming out of the bottom - something to work on). Video of the last set is here, which despite being slower, demonstrates better form since I resist the urge to let my knees slide forward on the ascent.

Finished with 3 front tuck levers (~30s each).

Still feeling slightly sick, may take this week to rest. Dinner (bison steaks, steamed snapper and broccoli):
