3 @ 72.5
>3 @ 82.5 (2 reps)

Deadlift

3 @ 160
3 @ 182.5
>3 @ 205 (6 reps)

Back Squat

3 @ 112.5
3 @ 130
>3 @ 145 (11 reps)

Not bad considering the holiday, but need to get back into a more regular schedule in so far as lifting, metcons, and skillwork are concerned.

In the morning did Tabata sprints on the treadmill. Good times. In the evening started Wendler OHS, which was

5 @ 65
5 @ 75
>5 @ 85*

*Finished with 12 reps, which considering my cramped surroundings (the basement) wasn't bad.

Worked out today in the in-laws' basement (it's snowing here in St Paul!):

Wendler Deadlift

5 @ 147.5
5 @ 170
>5 @ 192.5*

*Finished with 12 reps!

I then ran a 5k on the ole treadmill. Kept a little over a 9 minute pace, which didn't feel super fast to me but my legs were definitely feeling it since I had only deadlifted about 30 minutes before.

Since we're leaving town on Saturday, I started my next Wendler cycle a little early:

Back Squat
5 @ 105
5 @ 122.5
>5 @ 137.5*

Shoulder Press
5 @ 57.5
5 @ 67.5
>5 @ 77.5*

*Finished with 15 back squat reps and 6 shoulder press reps, both of which I was psyched about.

Combined my Wendler press and deadlift back-off sessions today, all went well. I then did 20 DUs on the minute for 10 minutes, which went much better than I thought it would go (I channeled Alex, who is a DU savant). Got a little tired toward the end and things occasionally were ugly, but all in all it was an encouraging practice session (considering I haven't done DUs in at least 3 months). I then messed around a little with assisted pistols and handstand holds, both of which I need to work on more!

Saturday I played frisbee for the first time in a year. I was 1 of 3 women on the squad, and so played a lot more than I should have. I got through 2.25 games before hanging it up, and spent the rest of the weekend working out the extreme lower body soreness. Anyhow, I've been getting to bed so early lately that I decided this morning to hit up a 630 WOD before work! I did a Wendler back squat back-off week, and then we did

5 rounds of 3 minutes of

1 lap
10 pushups
10 toes to bar
(rest with any time left)

First couple rounds were fine, but the toes to bar got ugly in the last 2 rounds - I only managed 8 in the 4th round, and my range of motion was questionable on at least 3 or 4 reps per round. It felt good to run around, though!

Worked out at home, again:

2-rep snatch balance practice, staying very light and working on speed.

Then no dumbbells, so I did some volume work on some things I stink at:

1 ring dip on the minute for 10 minutes (failed on last one) and

5 65-lb thrusters on the minute for 10 minutes (finished all within 20 seconds, just wanted to work on form)

Wednesday was a work/rest day. Today was

Deadlift

5 @ 162.5
3 @ 185
>1 @ 207.5*

*Finished with 8, which was a good confidence builder. Then did 10 minutes on the minute HSPUs (feet on box, torso as vertical as possible), and then 10 minutes on the minute 10 box jumps (18").

Monday was a work/rest day. Tuesday I fit in

Wendler Back Squat

5 @ 130
3 @ 145
*>1 @ 162.5

Wendler Press

5 @ 65
3 @ 72.5
*>1 @ 82.5

*Finished with 1 rep on the back squat and 3 reps on the press. I'm going to recalculate my 1 rep max for the back squat starting with the next cycle, since I've obviously backslid some. Press was ok.

After a week full of 15 hour work days, travel, and a grad school interview halfway across the country, today's been the first day in awhile I've been able to workout! I did some HSPU skill work, using a scaled method but going to full depth, and then did Wendler deadlift, which amounted to:

3 @ 152.5
3 @ 175
>3 @ 197.5*

*I finished with 8 reps on the last set, which I was pretty happy with.
