Chris Thus.

Box squat (deload) 3x5 at 225 on 12" box + plate.
Metcon - 20 min. of the following: 5 neg. HSPU, farmers walk w/ 50lb. DBs 1/6th mile, jog 1/6th mile. I think I did 7 rounds, but not sure as I was in a lactate daze for the last 10 min. "What do the trapezius do? Oh yeah, I see now..."

**Edit - I got mixed up on the distance for FW/jog, should have been 1/2 of a 1/12th mile lap (half of 12 is 6 right? Told you I was in a lactate daze. Duh!). Anyway, the distance was actually about 75 yds. FW, 75 yds. jog each round.

Those deloads are tough, oui?

Chris said...

Yeah, I want to keep going up, up, up! But really, it felt kind of good to go in and do the work and not be worn out. Plenty of other stuff this week - pull ups, etc. - to make me sore.

Wiat, I'm confused. Do you mean you deloaded at the bottom or it's a deload workout?

Chris said...

Oh, I was confused too. I'm deloading this week and next Mon., but also the box squats were paused at the bottom. Is that what you meant?

Sam Crish said...

Sort of, deloading is letting the box take the weight completely (some people actually pick up their feet) so the concentric is from a complete dead stop.
Why deload with a box squat?

Chris said...

Yes, I was deloading at the bottom. Regards programatic deload, I'm just taking a week w/ lighter loads, and wanted to work on good depth, form etc., so decided to box squat.
