HACKS

HACK SQUATS- 5x3

Let me just say I was psyched for this one coming in thinking it would be super cool as the previous day I tried a few with 65# and it felt like lifting a 15# bar.

Then disappointment followed...I was made to do front squats...

012009- 115, 135, 145, 155, 165

The only goo thing is I got a new PR on front squats and at the higher weights they looked/felt way better than last time in that weight range.

We did our warmup sets and I had no problem on the Hack squats...I needed to add weight to really put any work into lift so I was going to start with 115. Due to my massively muscular calves and hamstrings I was kicked out of these after getting 3.

In watching everyone else in my group...who pretty mush all have smaller birdlike legs I thought I had figured out the secret even with my muscle getting in the way. I tried another at 115 at the end, but still couldn't get it. I have another thought on what to try. I think it's the super calves that almost cause more of a problem than the hammies.

Needless to say I was super unhappy with Coach when he told me I had to write my WOD in blue...It's not my fault that my body type prevents me from completing the workout. I don't think that even weight loss will change those areas too too much unless I go anorexic which is not my plan...but we'll see.
