Back Squats x20

The New Back Squats
Week 1
20 reps at 60%
I went with 165#. 

I went little on the lower side, but I am a little timid about a 20 rep program.  This is going to be a whole new back squat ball game, pushing my endurance and commitment.  The breathing alone on 20 squats is exhausting. :)

WOD
Baseline
500 m row
40 squats
30 sit ups
20 push ups
10 pull ups (GB)
time-6:18

When I get better at push ups, I will definitely be able to cut some time off of this one, as that is where I wasted A LOT of time.  Of course, my pull ups always need work, but I clearly need to work on getting more push ups in a set.  I was doing them in 5s.  Not good.

Now I have a new FS goal

Front Squat
Heavy single
83
123
153
163
173
195-not quite deep enough

I am now going to be aiming for the 200# front squat. It is so close I can taste it.

WOD
compare to 4/24/2010
4 rounds
1 min max Box Jumps 20"
30 sec cross chops 35# (alternate sides each round)
30 sec push ups
*45 sec rest

I didn't write my numbers down during the wod, so these are kind of rough, but I know that I did at least these numbers each round
Box Jumps 22/20/22/20
Cross Chops 20/20/20/20
Push Ups 13/10/10/10

Yep, a push up wimp. But I did use the 20 in box this time instead of the 16 I used in April!
