5x5 Progress

Skill
Back Squat
5x5x168#

Up 5# from 2/1/10.
I am still kind of amazed by all of this. The last 5x5, 8 days ago, was pretty hard, as in the 4th and 5th rep of every set was a struggle and I desperately needed the rest between sets. I knew the 5x5 was coming today, and I was fairly confident that adding 5 lbs. to last week's set would crush me. There was no way that I could do more for 25 lifts so soon. But it worked! I almost can't believe it! It was also perfect that Vero was in class tonight so we could partner up on the squats. It is so fun to have a back squat partner. :)

WOD
21-18-15-12-9-6-3
KBS 35#
Push Ups
Box Jumps
Time: 11:35

I knew that the agony of the 18 and 15 rounds seemed very, very familiar...compare to 11/10/09 with a time of 12:32. I am going to pretend that I actually finished the last box jump 3 seconds before Kyle recorded the time, thus giving me a 1 minute improvement on this wod.
