Throwing weight on the bar, a'yup...

WOD 3/6: gorilla wod: front squats
  • front squat 95lbs x 12 reps x 1 set
  • 115lbs x 12 reps x 1 set
  • 135lbs x 10 reps x 1 set
  • 185lbs x 7 reps x 1 set
  • 135lbs x 12 reps x 1 set

finally got access to the rack and decided it's high time to throw some weight back on the bar. i decided to work in the hypertrophy range because...well why not?

WOD 3/8: gorilla wod: squat cleans

  • squat clean 65lbs x 10 reps x 1 set
  • 75lbs x 10 reps x 1 set
  • 95lbs x 10 reps x 1 set
  • 115lbs x 10 reps x 1 set
  • 135lbs x 5 reps x 1 set

gym was relatively empty so i took the opportunity to throw weight on the bar again. this time in the form of squat cleans - to really punish myself! i was surprised at the ease with which 135lbs went up...but i decided to stop there. my forearms and wrists were talking to me and telling me that i haven't moved a bar with weight on it in months. yow! this morning my left forearm in particular is indicating that it appreciated the movements ysterday.

mesomorphs are meant to move weight - what can one say.
