Back Squat - 7x5 at 70% (275 lb.)

The percentage for back squats have gone up by 5%. It took a few warm up sets to get into it but I was able to finish all the sets in the amount of time given. I'm gaining more confidence in my squat now that we are going up in weight. Hopefully I'll be able to hit a new PR in the coming weeks. 

WOD

Partner Holleyman - 45 Rounds For Time, 35 Minute Time Cap

This workout was modified from the original Holleyman

5 wall balls (20 lb.)

3 handstand push ups

1 power clean (205 lb.)

The amount of rounds is daunting but once we got into the workout we didn't stop. I had to scale the power clean to 205 lb. The Rx version had the power cleans at 225 lb. which is close to my 1RM. In order to finish under time cap each round had to be done under 45 seconds. I wasn't sure how quickly I would finish each round so I tried to pace accordingly.

This workout was actually fun. We would finish a round under 45 seconds and the break in between was enough to catch your breath. The hardest movement for me was the wall balls but towards the end of the workout, every movement was becoming more difficult. I did all the reps unbroken but I almost missed a power clean. I would love to retest this workout.
