Day 5 - Oct 18th 2008

I keep moving this workout to Saturday. Yesterday and the day before I was cutting weight to certify at my weight class, which meant a total of 19 lbs. in those two days. So I was not up to lift. Practice this morning was easy so I decided to get some work in. I was late to the gym - it closes at 5 on Saturdays which sucks - but I got my high box work in. I'd never squatted on a box before and I wanted to see how it was.

High Box Squat
335 x 2
355 x 2
365 x 2

Felt very good. I had the box slightly above parallel.

I put 155 on the bar - very light - and tried some front squats but I need to work on the form. I guess I just need time to adjust but I couldn't hold on to the bar very well.

Not a lot of work here but for the circumstances - coming out of weight cutting and after practice - I felt good just to mess around with the form.
