Training 11/4/11 Back squat single & max reps @ 85%

Sleep 10p-5:30a This felt like sleeping in for sure!

Training @ CrossFit Spirit in Hinckley, Ohio 6:30am. Fasted except for sm Starbucks w/cream.

Part 1: Build to a heavy single back squat. (45x5, 95x5, 135x3, 155x1, 165x1, 175x1, 185F)



Rest 10 minutes

Part 2: Max rep back squats @ 85% of today's best (used 150lbs). Completed 10 reps F on 11th.

Videos of max reps & miss @ 185 to follow.  (Uploading is slow.)

There was also a close grip bench press with max reps programmed for today, but will have to wait until tomorrow, as I am doing myself & my family a favor by not running late to the service which is an hour drive away.

Afterthoughts: A bit disappointed on the BS single, as I have hit 195lbs twice in the past year (Feb & June of 2011) and 185lbs for a double in June & single two wks ago.  Yet considering the long day of travel yesterday & emotional fatigue of losing my grandmother this week I will take it.  I have never attempted any max rep efforts @ 85% before so I didn't know what to expect.  It wasn't as horrible as I was imagining.
