CrossFit Day 102

Today’s workout was five sets of back squats. Since I’m using 35 pound dumbbells instead of a barbell, I’m not going for max load. I’m doing five 15 rep sets of the squat.

I did this workout earlier this month, but I only did sets of 10 then. I pounded out the first set in just over 90 seconds. The rest required a little more staring at the dumbbells on the floor, cleaning them up to my shoulders, adjusting my stance and getting the work done. I have found the the more I concentrate on keeping my head up, even looking at the ceiling, the easier these are. Let’s see if I can, despite the 50% greater workload, come close to my 10:35 from last time.

My HRM: 10:30, 5:18 zone (hard); HR: 158 avg, 176 max; 136 cal
Stopwatch: 10:26.68

So, it looks like I sliced almost ten seconds off today. Not bad.
