Fitness-7/7-back squats, "Cindy Gone Wild"

Tuesday WOD-"Cindy Gone Wild"

We started the day off with back squats at the gym. The rep scheme was 5 x 5 max effort but I've decided to lay off the majority of max effort work for the remainder of the summer. I'm planning on working high repetition sets and really cementing good functional form and strengthening my core as well as increasing my strength endurance/stamina. Today I went for 3 x 20. The sets were as follows:

-20 x 115
-20 x 135
-20 x 155

I should have finished at 185 but since I hit the set at 115 during warm-ups, I decided to count it and stick to my 3-set regime. I'm really trying to force myself to NOT overtrain. It's tough sometimes. I was still happy with my work.

After this, we went after a mini"Cindy" variation for time. "Cindy Gone Wild" was as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:

-5 hspu's
-10 recline ring pullups
-16 split jumps

score=5+1

I performed the hspu's full range of motion today using a band hanging from the pull-up bar for assistance. It was still tough and I think I'm a ways out from a full range of motion un-assisted hspu. But they're getting better. This was a good little wod to follow-up the squat work.
