Day 19 WLC
Back squat. #285. Felt good. 1mile bike 1:52.
Back Squat: 155# PR (Previous – 145#) So fun to work next to Michelle and I got to watch her hit a PR of 215#!! Great work all around at the 5:30 with Kim getting under the bar once again and upping her weight from a week ago – just one year after back surgery!
1 Mile Bike: 2:41
Thanks Frozen! Great combo of max lifting and max cardio π
285# – 10# PR!
Bike: 1:52…that definitely hurts!
I forgot to include my set progression if anyone else is looking at a similar load:
5×35#, 2×75#, 3×80#, 3×90#, 1×95#, 1×110#, 1×120#, 1×130#, 1×140#, 1×150#, 1×155#
I based my numbers off of my previous known 1 Rep of 145# and targeted 150# for today. My 140# lift represented 97% of my previous 1 Rep which gave me a decent indication of where I could go today. 150# felt good, so I decided to attempt 155# and see if I could push things a bit. Michelle inspired me π
That’s 2.7 Deb’s as a back squat! I suppose I could have just sat on your back and held a barbell. Nice job on the bike – looks like you and JL had the same exact day!!
Back Squat: 115# (tied my previous PR from April, 2019)
1M bike: 2:43
Some awesome PRs today – so inspiring! Awesome to work with Kim today – I know she could have gone higher than 115# but she is doing an amazing job of taking it slow and steady as she works her way back! I was happy to get 115# after dumping on my first attempt. Thanks to JL and Frozen for being there to help, just in case, and to Kim for the pep talks!
Back Squat 315
BS #255. Bike 2:01
That’s about 3 Debs!! Talk about moving body weight π
