Out of Gas

Went in Wednesday night for the WOD.  I really try to hit all WODs where we do any lifting and after CFT on Monday I needed to work out some soreness.

WOD1
High Bar Back Squats (This is the only way I know how to do it)
10 reps 50% 1 RM
10 reps 60% 1RM
8 reps 65% 1 RM
8 reps 70% 1 RM

Warmed up with 10 reps of 135 lbs then jumped into it.  185 / 205/ 225 / 255.  When I got to 255 I had no gas and did 1 rep.  Disappointing but if I kept going I would have had to dump it.

WOD2
4 rounds for time
5 Front Squats
8 Strict Pullups
40 Double Unders

I put 135 lbs on the front squat.  This is a challenging lift for me.  The lack of flexibility hurts me here.  Pullups I used black band for round 1 and black and red for rounds 2 - 4.  Double Unders were good for round 1 but when I got to next round they just fell apart.  I switched to singles.  Double Unders is an item I am good at so disappointing to say the least and one thing I need to work on.

Plan to take a rest day on Thursday from the box and will row in the basement.
