I will learn to love the prowler

I will learn to love the prowler. The prowler is a great mental test. I get to that uncomfortable place, full of pain, quickly. From that point, it's all a mental battle to keep on going and finish the push.

WOD (5 rounds):

• 1 prowler push (190 lbs)
• 5 pull ups
• 7 ring push ups
• 9 dips

Lifting: dead lift and press

I'm going to focusing on strength for the next couple of months. I'm just getting back into the lifts and it's hard to be patient. I want gains now.

WOD 1: 3x5 dead lift (245 lbs)

WOD 2: 3x5 press (120 lbs)

I was doing more weight than this only a few months ago. I'm hoping I make quick gains here.

Lifting: back squat and bench press

WOD 1: 3x4 back squats (265 lbs)
I'll do 3x5 next week and then the weight will start going up.

WOD 2: 3x5 bench press (175 lbs)
My shoulder is feeling better. Upping the weight next time.

• 30 double unders
• 200m row
• rest 5 mins

Then:

• 400m run
