Fixin' up the gym.

This weekend was all about finishing the set-up of my basement space. I had a squat rack to build, shelving to make, to create a back extension set-up, and a white board to put up. So it was a busy day and I still managed to get out hunting till 11 this morning.

The squat rack is awesome and works perfectly, the one thing I think I'm going to do though is put some sway braces on it as it seems to like to shift side to side. I wish I had a camera cause i'd through a couple pictures up of it.

I just had to test out my new squat rack so today was going to be a 5x5 day of back squats. Fist off was the warm-up.

2 min skip
30 push-ups
500m sprint
20 pull-ups - still sore from friday.
50 x 45lb sumo-deadlift high-pulls
20 dips

Good 20 min stretch & 30 dowel overhead squats.

5x5 Back Squat:

5 x 275lb
5 x 285lb
5 x 285lb
5 x 295lb
5 x 295lb

Finished up with a bunch of lunges, a bunch of dumbell isolated chest movements, front squat and a little 10 min metcon to finish out the upper body.

Rounds in 10 min of:

10 push-ups
5 dips

Total: 9

Starting to feel like i've recovered from Thursdays & Fridays WODS, the two days put together were quite the little devil. I see why there was a Crossfit total at the start of the 3 day split.

Super stoked on the comletion of the squat rack, next up is a bench and a 24" box.
