Pullup PR & Backsquat Focus

Workout with trainer after Tuesday's self training--objective was to test the last weeks programming and see the achievement especially on back squats and shoulder presses. Key to success in heavy lifting is keeping constant focus and do each rep one at the time. As seen below I needed a 2nd trial and some pepping to achieve the wanted results of 9 reps, instead of pulling out after a mental stop at 5 reps -- and important lesson learned!

WO : the usual with focus on agility and preparation for lifts.

Shoulder Presses:
Various intervals with objective to reach nine reps of 42,5. I did 6 reps in the end.
5 x 30 kg (t b c)
5 x 30 kg (t b c)
6 x 42,5 kg

New Pull-up PR: 16 reps performed with great control.

Backsquats:
Various intervals of 5 x 75/85/90 kg (t b c)
9 x 90 kg
Highlight was reaching 9 reps a 90kg. I stopped after five reps on the first trial of nine, and had to really pull myself together and focus hard to get to nine. Nice performance after all and I felt good when it was done.

Finished with 30 Burpee-Pullups. Time approx 5.30 min.

Celebrated with some nice lamb chops w. salsa for dinner
