Been a few weeks since a heavy squat


Cycle 4 Week 2: BS 1RM + 5% from Cycle 3
5 reps @ 40% (70#)
5 reps @ 50% (85#)
3 reps @ 60% (105#)
3 reps @ 70% (120#)
3 reps @ 80% (140#)
3+ reps @ 90% (155#): 2 reps

Metcon: 4 rounds of
40 DUs
15 hand release push ups
8 thrusters (65#, rx)
11:41

Haven't heavy squatted the entire cycle 4 so I opted to do week 2 instead of week 3 rep scheme. Still felt heavy as evidenced by 2 reps at 155# (I did 3 reps at 155# at the end of last cycle) so clearly, I've regressed (no surprise).
On the upside, I suppose I have been working a lot more on upper body and the hand release push ups were pretty good rx form (no worming/peeling off floor as far as I can remember anyway). Shoulders felt pretty fatigued throughout so these were in 2s and singles towards the end to avoid failing. Made it through first two rounds of thrusters unbroken and in sets of 4 on the last two rounds. Makes me want to do Fran to see where I'm at!
