Very Pleased

BackSquats 3-3-3-3-3 reps I have read two ways that this WOD can be performed. The first way (the way I had been doing it) is to find your 3rep max, which means keep adding weight and doing sets of 3 until you reach the last set or you can not add any more weight. The second way is to do all 5x3 with the same weight which they say should be about 90% of your 1rep max. I decided to try the second way this time. My one rep max is 225 so roughly 90% of that is 200. So, I loaded the bar up with 200 and away I went. I was surprised that I did all 5x3. I enjoyed this way better as I can feel my legs more today. I think my 1rep max could be higher, I think I will stay with this method for awhile whether it is 5x3 or 5x5 and see how the strength comes. I need to do the same with deadlift as I am stuck at 245. Monday is hang squat cleans with 155#, I am shooting for 2 rounds at 155 and the rest at 135 we will see.
