Today's workout was pretty simple: attempt to do 20 unbroken reps of backsquats with as much weight as possible. Of course, if you don't get to twenty, you hast have to be happy with what you did. Now, as it turns out, my eyes were a little bit bigger than my stomach on this one. I went for it with 225 pounds, and only managed 13.
After that, we had another doozy. Every other minute we had to do either 3 cleans at (in my case) 115 pounds, or (once again, in my case) 12 pushups. If I had done it prescribed, it would have been 205 pounds on cleans and 3 handstand pushups.
Good grief! It's been a grueling week, but I'm glad I did it. I'm not expecting to be down weight at my weigh in tomorrow morning, but at least I won't embarrass myself by having gained 20 pounds.
