Christine Tuesday

Ok so i should have listened to Sam who said "take a break from squats." But i just wanted to do them. I shouldnt have. It was a high gravity day, as Karen would say.

I started screwing off in the house with handstand push-ups (i got half of one before i fell on my head) and those back bridges Ms. Melly taught us in yoga. Time to show my spine who's boss. Then:

3 x 3 Clean and Press at 80 lbs. That went very well.
3 Squats at 155. Still going okay.
2 Squats at 165. Things dramatically went downhill. Had to drop it on the rack and crawl out from under it on the 3rd rep. Called it a day. Swore a little. Tried to kick a little sand in some skinny nerd's face. Wondered if my front squat could be throwing off my back squat. Then realized Sam would yell at me for thinking that. Drank two glasses of the box wine that Mac left at our house and felt much better about everything.

No, that's perfectly sensible reasoning. Both from a groove standpoint and a fatigue standpoint.
