Warm-up:
half-court box drill
2x10 situps, pushups, squats
dynamic squat stretching

3x5 low-bar back squat (5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 1x185 then 3x5x195)

3 rounds:
0.2 mi run (treadmill, 6:40 pace)
10 situps
5 pushups

3x5 shoulder press (5x45, 3x55, 1x65 then 3x5x80)

Lower back tweaky from a minor strain climbing with G last night, still sore under any kind of axial movement today. During squats, felt worst getting it off the rack but actually the load felt more solid at the bottom, maybe because the angle of the hips kind of locks you into place. Still adjusting technique: a little wider grip, thumbs over the bar, a little wider stance, and pulled shoulder blades back tight.

Coles converted one of the racquetball courts into a mini-fitness room, with treadmills and spin cycles and some nautilus machines. Tried to do a little metcon there, but the treadmills are rough for short sprints: take too long to wind up to speed and for some reason don't have an easily legible distance reading (or I was too slow to figure it out). Anything 400 m or shorter, think I'll do on solid earth.

Pretty burned out by the presses, *barely* got the last rep of each set up.
