CrossFit Day 63
Today’s workout was clumsy, consisting of a number of back squats using, in my case, dumbbells. We’re doing 100 reps of the back squat under 70 pounds of weight (a pair of 35 pound dumbbells).
I subdivided this amount of work into sets of ten. After each set, I would untangle my hand from the dumbbell on each side, set them on the mat near the door, take a breather, and then clean the weight back to my shoulders. Then I’d twist around, dislodge my thumbs from under the bar of the dumbbell and do my squats.
70 pounds isn’t very much for a back squat, but that’s as much as I have. I think, given the awkwardness of getting the weight positioned correctly on top my shoulders, that this may be the high water mark for back squats with dumbbells. Of course, three months from now, when I’m shopping around for 60 pound dumbbells, I’ll probably sing a different tune.
My results: 19:02, 10:10 zone (hard); HR: 155 avg, 174 max; 235 cal
