A. Back Squat @30X1-build to a 1RM (School Gym, steel weights)

135 x 1

145 x 1

155 x 1 - was slower coming back up

165 x 2 - felt like I didn't go below parallel the first time so did it again

170 x 0 - had to lose the bar

Didn't rest enough between sets because I was confused about whether or not I should with this tempo but I haven't been able to squat above 165 in the past so I don't think it would have made a difference. I think there may be some issues with my form and being too far forward.

*10 minute rest*

B. Back Squat @ 85% @ 30X1; 1 x max reps (School Gym, steel weights)

140 x 9 - stopped for three fast breaths at rep 7, rep 9 my knees came in and back came too far forward as I was coming up so I stopped

C. Kipping Pull Ups- 3 x max reps; rest 2 min (CrossFit 27:17)

10-restarted from dead hang twice

8-restarted from dead hang twice

7-restarted from dead hang once

Feeling sort of excited about these even though it isn't many because I couldn't really get unbroken at all on the pull up bar I have been using and thought I wasn't strong enough or that something wasn't clicking for me about how to kip.
