Missed my 7:15ers this morning, this box did not have camaraderie or pep which was sad, it was a very quiet class, Going to try one more day then may give another box a try.

July 9, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLisa B

tried for 1 RM back squats: 115 (5) - 130 (3) - 150 (1) -155 (f) - 155 (f)
step-ups: 10 each leg with 15#
chinups: 2-3-3
WOD: 11 rounds + 1 burpee

While I am disappointed at not being able to go heavier today, I discovered (during both the squats and the step-ups) that I am favoring one leg over the other so that one leg is actually much stronger. Whoa, this may just be the source of my problem... which is good, because it gives me something to work on. Hello, pistol squats.
