OH Squat 65x5, 65x5, 95x5, 115x3, 135x3
I think I cut depth a little on the last 2 for 135, the problem is I'm doing these without stands or catches so I can't really bail on it so I'm hesitant when it's feeling heavy.
Back Squat 135x1x20
Mike and I are finishing DL with a set of 20 and Rippetoe has a 20-rep squat workout where that's all you do for squat 2 days a week. Would like to go heavier but that's the weight I feel like I can press off of my traps no matter how tired I am (the same no rack problem - come on rack!). Squats in the gym Friday, maybe I'll go heavier for 20.
KB swings 97x3x10
One armed KB swings 25 each arm x 62# Did not time it but did it continuously without putting the KB down. Much harder than normal. About 1/2way through I was convincing myself "Hey Sam, you've already done those other swings. Take it easy." but I just kept going. Not in any grind through the pain thing, just kept going.
Posterior chain is pretty tired.
Finished with some sledgehammer forearm stuff and wrist rolls.

What a nice workout. So complete. So challenging. And yet, so sane.
I've been doing the set numbering thing differently - weight x rep x set.
We watched Never Back Down last night with Connor - he's struggling with the 18 at one point!
C'mon squat rack. How much are they?
Thank you. I'm fairly sore today.
Yeah, I've been doing it this way to simplify since if I'm only doing the sets and reps it goes in that order.
Which exercise with the 18?
I'm looking at one that's 300+100 shipping. Once I save that then -whatever our group name is- (something tribe? Something nation?) will be like freaking jedis.
Way to go Sam. Can't wait to do the 20 squat WO. Can feel the bile rising already.
What were you hitting w/ the sledge hammer? While watching the movie Mel referenced, she said "why don't WE flip tires?" or something like that. I told her neither you nor I were permitted by our spouses to have big tires in our yards. But that was then...
On the way to school this morning Rosie asked me, obviously influenced by the movie, if I thought she could lift a cinder block. I reckoned she could. The next generation of rocked up killing machines.
He was just doing swings with the 18. By the end he was kind of doing the juggling thing with looked to be 35.
I think we're the Sore Corps.
Chris,
I wasn't hitting anything with the sledgehammer I was holding it high on the handle and doing sets of moving the head in different directions.
I agree re: this is now.
Melanie,
Oh I thought you meant Connor was having problems with the 18.
Sore core it is. Although I don't think Sore Corps. has too much of a military connotation.
No, Sore Core is lame. Sounds like a Pilates group or something. Here is definition #2 (and there's only 2)of Corps from Webster's 9th New Collegiate Dictionary: "a group of the best people in a category." And, one of the myriad defs of core: "the usu. inedible central part of some fruits; esp: the papery or leathery carpel composing the ripend ovary in a pome fruit. Nothing against the women in our group, but I don't want our name connotating ovaries.
Wait, did Melanie edit her comment? I swore I saw "Core" in there and I thought "Corps" was better.
Am I going crazy? Who are you? Where are my pants?
i am laughing
i did not edit my comment
i always had sore corps
as for your pants, you're on your own
i'm offended by the anti-ovary comment
