Back squats and "Karen"

A.  Back Squat 3-3-3, start at 81% and increase

225x3, 255x3, 275x5(PR)

I decided to do the two extra just to finally do it. 270 had been my five-rep squat number since 2010. Back when I was doing Strength training, I worked up to 275 twice and each time I hurt my back doing the warm-up (225 both times). Since then, I have been reluctant to put more than 265lbs on the bar.

Well, reluctance isn't gonna make me any fucking stronger. Putting more weight on the bar is. Some days it will go up and some days it won't. I need to remember that it's okay to fail. The trying is the thing.


B. Benchmark Girl “Karen”
150 Wall Ball for time
