WOD - Front Squat

CFWU
2 rds of
10 sec l & r Samson Stretch
10 - Overhead Squat with broomstick
10 - Sit-up
10 - Back-extension (supermans)
5,4 Pull-up
5 Bench Dip (straight legs)

Front Squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps
95, 115, 135(f), 45, 95, 45

Just not flexible enough in the back. Lighter weights helped but even with just the bar struggled maintaining vertical back and elbows. I am sure with time this will improve.

5 pullups for good measure to finish

I am thinking of putting pullup bar in a convenient doorway I walk through relatively often. Saw the tip somewhere in the crossfit forums. Every time you walk through you do a few. Wonder what my wife will think of a pull up bar in one of her doorways?

  1. Front squats are a b***h. I need to work on those. Why don't you put a rope in your great room and maybe a pair of rings? What would you think about a 30 day pull up challenge? 1 day 1, 2 day 2, 3 day 3 etc. or X number of pullups per day for 30 days. Are you up for it?

  2. I am up for trying but am not very confident I can progress that fast. I am going to continue to max pull ups in CFWU and finish with max pull ups. I would be willing to try the challenge the first of february after a few weeks of more pullups. I just cannot picture myself doing 30 pullups..
