   Monday BS (definitely no 3-sec pause at the bottom):
   190# x4 190# x4
   205# x4 205# x4
   225# x3 225# x3
   245# x2 245# x2

   And Tuesday my hamstrings were sore.

      Don’t compare your numbers to other people’s, just your past self! I notice you have added 11# to your backsquat double in just a little over a month, and back then that was WITHOUT the 3-second pause!!!

      Getting strongerrrrr

   10 rounds not for time

   20 GHD situps
   10 dumbbell back squats with 2×50# – 3 second pause at bottom
   10 30# weighted back extensions

   The pause is not a lot of fun, even at this light weight!

   No shoulders today, trying to cure my left arm from falling asleep all the time…

    Shoulder press hasn’t gone up in over a year and my shoulders feel dead, so I have no idea how that happened. Pretty psyched, though. 🙂
