new shoe success!
I squatted in my new shoes tonight, and it went pretty well. They feel good, though I think I may need to adjust my stance. My left knee was pulling in, so my coach suggested going a bit narrower next time. EXCITING DETAILS, I KNOW.
Class after work was 50 minutes of intervals on the rower and tabata madness. (Lots of push-ups, burpees, lunges, etc.)
Squats: 45x5, 65x5, 85x5, 110x5x3, 115x5x2
These went fine (aside from that knee issue), or as fine as week 1 of a new cycle usually goes for me. After a month of box squats, it feels strange to go back to free squats. Week 2 is always much easier despite heavier weight.
And then 4 sets of 8 stiff-legged deadlifts at 95 and 3 minute-long planks.
All this and 12K or so steps. Now I just need to lay off the breakfast sammies.
OK, time for meatloaf and roasted cabbage. Thanks for the dinner idea, Celeste!
