Lift Day!

Morning
1 mile run
100/50/50/100/50/50/100 single skips
30 double unders

Lunch
1000 meter row
front squat 5x5
bench press 5x5

Today was my first day going to the LA Fitness by work.  It went really well.  Every time before when I went there it was a bit crowded.  This time I didn't have to wait for anything.  I started off with the rowing machine.  I really wanted to do that one because I've never done it before.  It didn't seem overly strenuous but then maybe I could have been going faster.  I should have noted my time when I reached 1000 meters.  I think it was between 5 and 6 minutes.  After the row I went to the squat rack and proceeded to do some front squats.  I've only done those once before at the crossfit box.  They are a bit awkward especially in how you have to hold the bar on top of your clavicle bones.  My fingers actually felt really strained after doing that one.  I'm going to have to work on my finger flexibility.  Bench press felt really good.  I ended my 5 sets of 5 at 225 and easily completed it.  Next time I'm going to adjust higher.  A personal goal I've always had is to bench 315.
