September 25th - Horrible Box Squats, Pretty Good Rowing

Squats were awful today. Even 185 felt heavy... 315 felt like a house on my back. I still did a triple but I was feeling headachey and slow, hope I'm not coming down with something. I actually had a pretty good sleep last night.

Triples @ 45, 95, 135, 185, 225, 275, 295, 315

I decided that I'd be playing with fire if I kept going with squats with little chance of a real reward so I skipped to the conditioning I had planned.

10 Minutes 30/30 HIIT on Concept 2

I used the calories/hour function as an intensity indicator, trying to keep it above 1600 during the work intervals. I had a couple of dips in the later rounds but I think those were mainly because of slower eccentric phases and awkward catches as a result. In the opening 15 seconds of each interval I was actually breaking 2000 in the early rounds, 1800-1900 in the later.
