Got the weights right for the DLs this week and noted that even though I did a little less weight on the last set than last week's, I got the same number of reps. My excuse would be that my blisters / ripped hands from the pullups made the grip so much more taxing. I also thought my back started to round a bit on the 5th rep.
If I had a wheelhouse, this stuff would be in it (as well as double unders). I went 75# instead of the rx'ed 65# as I thought I had strong front squats. They were unbroken but the 5th and 6th reps in the last 4 rounds were a fight to not drop. Box jumps were pretty good even though I didn't have the best rhythm.
I surprised myself with 10 rounds so obviously, I was pretty happy with how this went.
Made up the Press that I missed earlier in the week. 7 reps felt good and focused on keeping core tight. Need to keep back tighter.
