Fitness - Front Squats - WOD - 9/1

I enjoyed today's WOD. I completed this one un-timed, same as yesterday. But this WOD was a little heavier. First I did a focus which consisted of cross-sets of front squats.

Focus: Cross-sets, 5x5 of front squats
5x5 - 195#

WOD: 5 rounds un-timed of
5 Thrusters - 135#
7 Burpees
9 Pull ups

Calories burned (Focus & WOD): 686

I was comfortable with this WOD. The thrusters got heavy pretty fast but I got through the first four rounds of thrusters unbroken. On the last round i did have to rest the bar on my shoulders for a breath or two.

The burpees drained me as usual. Nothing new there. And I got through all 5 rounds of pull ups unbroken. I felt really strong on the Pull ups. I hardly even slowed down even on rounds 3-5 after all the thrusters and burpees. I love these style of workouts. Short and intense met-cons. Either with heavy or light weight for some reason they are just raw. It challenges me physically and mentally and I like that.

I think I'm going to go light or take the rest of this weeks WOD's un-timed and not go all out. I feel fantastic (not totally ruined like I usually do) and I think it will serve me well to take this week light.

Starting next week I'm going to be changing my routine a little. I'll be going three days on, one day off, NO MATTER WHAT!!!. I need to start breaking up my week and giving my self some rest/recovery time. I'm addicted to CrossFit but it is truly for the best in terms of my body and performance.
