Crossfit: Squat 5x5

080805
Back Squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps


I figured I'd skip over Griff and do the 5-5-5-5-5 back squat today. Since Griff doesn't require a gym, I can do that over the weekend. I'm planning Griff, Helen, and/or the dumbbell snatch WOD for the weekend because none of them require me to go to the gym.

Back Squat:

5 x 135
5 x 155
5 x 185
5 x 200
5 x 200

I've done 5 x 205 before when doing a Stonglifts 5x5 routine but my form on the 5 x 200 today was much better (at least the first one was). Very little forward movement until the last couple reps of the second set of 200.

Oh, I also warmed up with 3 rounds of 5-10-10 of pull-ups, push-ups and squats. After the squats I did some ab work and 3x10 dips with a 12 pound dumbbell.
