As a result of being a little frustrated with my lack of strength progress lately, I've decided to change my approach to working out a bit. For the next month or so, I plan to

a. follow a Crossfit Football-esque plan that involves separate strength work from the WODs, and

b. up the number of WODs I've been doing a week from 4 to 5 or 6. When I started frisbee again, I was wary of overdoing it, but I think doubling up and doing a WOD on a practice day should be fine. That been said, we have a lot of tournaments coming up...

In any case, I decided to do another 5-5-5 of back squats, and added on 5-5-5 of bench presses afterward. My first 5 was a light 105, followed by 125 and 135. I was pretty happy to get 135 after failing on it yesterday; I really worked on breath control and pushing through the heels. Bench presses were undiscovered territory for me, and since I was doing them solo, I decided to take it easy (lest I be pinned underneath the bar until nightfall), so I did 65-75-85(1)-65.

Did the day's WOD at night before bed:

4 rounds
20 DB snatches, 30 lb
10 pushups

6:19

No way I could do slapping pushups, so it wasn't as Rx'd.
