20 reps at 275 is not easy
Yesterday was a strength day, which for me is an opportunity to test whether I have lost a great deal of strength after losing weight, lifting less often, and not drinking a gallon of milk.
I am actually pretty happy.
Squat: 5×225, 3×275, 5×315, 5×325.
Press: 5×115, 5×135, 5×135.
My best press at my biggest was 3×5 135lbs. I don’t know if I could have done that again yesterday, but if I can do it for two sets I am still pretty happy (or as happy as I can be with such an atrocious press). The squat I got up to 3×5 335lbs. I can MAYBE do one set of that now, but not three. I lost the most on this, but am still much stronger then I was before I did the strength stuff. Pretty happy.
Food was good:
Ham for breakfast
Tortilla soup for lunch
Shrimp and guac for a snack
Protein powder post WOD
Steak, greens, butternut squach with some parm for dinner
