Karen's Wednesday

WOD
At gym
Back squats: 3 rep 50 #, 2 rep 70 #, 1 rep 80# (I used a smith machine in case it got too heavy.)
OH press: 3 rep 50#, fail 60 # (I spent a little time struggling with it to get it into position, I got a few looks. Once it was in position, I was only able to stand there and struggle. More looks.)
Dead lift: 1 rep 80#, 1 rep 90#

At home
3 rounds of 10 dead lifts, 3 OH press, and 10 back squats with 50#.

I might do a little cardio this afternoon, but it is raining. We'll see what happens.

So, the "at the gym" WO wasn't enough? Geez.
BTW, does your gym have a squat rack or safety stands? These will allow you to bale out if you start to fail. I recommend getting away from the Smith machine ASAP. The geometry of it isn't right, plus you don't get all the core work you get from back squats.

You see, I called Nina on the way home, and she told me what she did, and I thought "huh. I could do that."

I will have to google a squat rack to see what one looks like, then look around the gym for one. I bet there is one.

Smith machines are the devil.
