Super embarrassing moment at the gym this morning. I failed on my first squat attempt...and it was only 135#. I was pretty tired and my legs felt heavy when I woke up this morning. Hockey takes more out of me than I realize. But I decided to go through with my plans for doing heavy 5 x 5's today.
I don't think anyone actually saw my fail. It wasn't like I fell or anything. I just had to stabilize myself at the bottom and get a little bounce to drive it back up.
In light of that, I decided to cut back and do an easier workout. I'm also thinking that I might take next week as a "rest week". I'll be at the conference anyway and probably won't have much time to get any good workouts in. So, I'm going to do some longer recovery runs this weekend and then try to focus on yoga, mobility and light stuff all next week. Then I'll hit the heavy 5 x 5 program in October.
Warm-up:
1000m row
stretch
Strength:
Deadlift 3 x 6 (165#)
Bench 3 x 6 (175#)
V-ups 3 x 15
Shoulder Press 3 x 8 (65#)

Again, not the best workout. I didn't have a good workout last Thursday morning after hockey either...
Working late so can't watch Challenge until 9 tonight.
