Legs

A mixed set of results today: One truly awful time followed by two new PRs.

10 RFT:
10 x traveling lunges @ 50s
10 x jump squats

Time = 19:39

My PR for this routine is 16:21, so I was 3:18 slower today. The difference was my mental attitude; I really didn't feel like my mind was in the right place for training today and I was just going through the motions. It's not like I was distracted with lots on my mind or anything like that. I just wasn't in the mood to exercise this morning. That's disappointing but I'm not training to be an athlete, so I'm not beating myself up too much about it. Today was just one of those days. 

However...

Amrap 12:
5 x leg press @ 200 lb
8 x jump lunges per leg

Rounds = 8 + 5 leg presses [PR = 8 + 2 leg presses]

Because of my disappointment over the first routine I really pushed myself to do the best I could with this one. I felt like I was struggling, though. Only a slight improvement, but better nonetheless. 

5 RFT:
5 x dumbbell front squats @ 37.5s
10 x air squats

Time = 4:18 [PR = 4:43]

Only a short routine, but some improvement. At least I finished on a positive note.

Sometimes your mind just isn there, nice job on the follow up routines though.

If I'd felt like this all week I'd be worried. It was just one day, so I'll see how today's pushing routine goes. Sometimes I need a crappy day to spur me into trying harder the next time.
