Max Effort Week Day 1 and QGB


Today was a little chilly in the gym.

More packing and clearing out the attic. Anyone want an 8 foot tall illuminated, rotating Christmas Tree???????????

Then onto the workout. This is week six of Strength Bias. So we are looking for some max efforts.

Back squat 5-3-3-1-1-1


Jason: 250-275-275-320 Fail-310-320# PR

Matt: 230-250-250-315 Fail -315#-325 Fail


Donna: 125-135-135-165-175 Fail-175#

I think we went a little heavy on the warm up sets, we will try going lighter with the Deadlifts tomorrow.

Metcon (aim for less than 15 min) - Quarter Gone Bad (QGB)

Five rounds for total reps of:
135 pound Thrusters, 15 seconds
Rest 45 Seconds
50 pound Weighted pull-ups, 15 seconds
Rest 45 Seconds
Burpees, 15 seconds
Rest 45 Seconds

Donna: 87 Reps @ 55#/Light band pull ups
Jason: 85 Reps @ 2 x 35# Kettlebells/Strict or minimal kip pull ups
Matt: 86 Reps @ 115#/20# vest for pull ups

This is a great workout, don't hold back as the rest period allows for recovery to give 100% on every round.
