Strength/Power
Squat: 135x5, 205x5, 245x5, 235x20
Yay, 20 rep squats. My back got pretty exhausted during this one, probably because I spent more time than before standing around and gasping for air. Still, my form was pretty solid through out, which means 245x20 next week.
Metcon
"Tabata Something Else"
Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.
Pull-ups: 68 (PR, +18)
Push-ups: 115 (PR, + 17)
Sit-ups: 91 (PR, +8)
Squats: 123 (PR, +15)
Total: 397 (PR, +63)
I guess my GTG work has paid off pretty well. Due to time constraints, I haven't been very consistent with it (especially on sit-ups, as is clear from the numbers), but the performance improvement has still been quite noticeable. I think I would've done even better on the squats if I hadn't done 20 rep squats just before.
Skill/Gymnastics
Advanced tuck front lever: 1 minute total hold
0:30, 0:30
I'm half way to the straddle front lever. My abs were petty tired after the sit-ups, but I still felt pretty strong and I think I can get 40 seconds next time.
