Back Squats and Half Cindy
Strength workout today was back squats. I’ve never done them before, so I wasn’t sure what my 75% max weight would be. I tried 133#, but my third rep was pretty hard. I moved down to 111# for the other four sets.
“Half Cindy”
Complete as many rounds in 10 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
We did a full Cindy two months ago, and I’ve made some big improvements since then. I did most of my rounds with jumping pullups last time, and this time I was able to do all kipping pull-ups. I didn’t note how many rounds of knee push-ups I did last time, probably all of them. This time I was able to get three rounds of strict push-ups and the rest on my knees. Push-ups seemed to be everyone’s weak spot though. I guess I just need to do a few every morning.
Total: 6 rounds + … 10 squats.
