Back Squats - 5 by 5's - (5,5,5,5,5)

07-09-09



Another crossfit first for me today was a full back squat workout. I loved it. I increased the weight until 175lbs felt challenging. After 2 sets of 5 reps I knew I wasnt quite at my most challenging weight so I said to the instructor that I was going to add 10 pounds. His response was, "cool, then your starting all over" ha! Roger that, I kicked the weight up to 185lbs and rocked out 5 sets of 5. The instructor watched more then 1/2 my reps, other then forcing myself to go a bit lower in the squat he said all was well. I felt like I did well and I felt like it was challenging. Of course on the next go I will increase the weight again and just go for the 5 sets of 5 without having to work the weight all the way up.
