Row, Row, Row Your.......

.....Self into the ground!!!!! That is the most rowing I have ever done!! I must say it wasn't all that bad. One thing that I did not realize was how much my hamstrings work during the row. Good thing Deads are tomorrow. (NOT)

Back Squat 3x5--195#, 205#, 215# I think next week I will have to drop to the 3x3 as 215x5 was pretty hefty for me. Although my 1rep max is 225. I feel at the end of the six weeks I should be in good shape to break that number.

For time:
Row 500 meters
Body weight Bench press, 30 reps
Row 1000 meters
Body weight Bench press, 20 reps
Row 2000 meters
Body weight Bench press, 10 reps
26:47

I used the smith machine for bench press as everyone and their mothers were bench pressing. I knew if I set up a bench with my weight someone would come and take it while I was rowing. I really did not want to use the smith machine but at least it guaranteed my spot after the rows.

Tomorrow is mainsite rest day so I am going to do a CrossFit Invictus WOD
Five rounds for time of:
40 Double-Unders
20 Knees to Elbows
10 Handstand Push-Ups
Not necessarily a strength WOD but it has three exercises that I could definitely improve on
