I worked out at 11:45, and it was once again a very steamy day. I’ll keep this brief…
30 Back Squats
As I completed 30 bodyweight BS in :55 I increased weight to 150#. Whilst I didn’t rack the bar, I did occasionally rest and shake out my legs. Dammit. It took me 1:07 to complete. I’ll have to decide if I want to increase weight or decrease time next week.
Box Jumps
I completed sets of 10 reps @ 18, 22, & 26″, focusing on speed and explosiveness. All sets were completed in unbroken reps with rebound.
100m Prowler Push
I put half of my bodyweight on prowler, i.e., 70#. As the weight of the prowler is 65# I pushed almost my bodyweight. How far? One hundred meters, 50m up and back. I like prowler pushes, but they ain’t easy. I completed in 1:07, with a strong push at the finish.
It was a fun day at CrossFit Surmount, and many of the endurance athletes achieved PRs on 800m, 400m, and 200m runs.

As always, Luke was by my side.
Time = 16:45
I was delighted that the song “Out Here On My Own” began to play. I was kind enough to serenade Wendy, Heather S., and Carin. I know that they very much appreciated it.
