Adaptation

Pretty good day yesterday on the workout front. Hit two WOD's. First was CFDE's programming (Deadlift 7x3), which I maxed out at 425. The deadlifts felt pretty solid and tight, never really felt the lower back start to round, which has caused me problems in the past. I've really been focusing on maintaining that lumbar curve even at the higher weights, which hopefully we all know makes all the difference.

Rested for about 4 hours then came back and did OPT's metcon from 4 days ago:

50 KB Swings (2 Pood)
20 GHD Situps
10 Box Jumps (30")
40 KB Swings (2 Pood)
20 GHD Situps
20 Box Jumps (30")
30 KB Swings (2 Pood)
20 GHD Situps
30 Box Jumps (30")
20 KB Swings (2 Pood)
20 GHD Situps
40 Box Jumps (30")
10 KB Swings (2 Pood)
20 GHD Situps
50 Box Jumps (30")

This was brutal. Box jumps and GHD situps definitely reside on the weakness column for me, so I was dreading doing this workout, which means that I absolutely needed to do this workout. Very glad I did, as I felt myself getting stronger on the box jumps as the WOD continued. These are the type of mentally taxing workouts that's going to improve not only physical adaptation, but train the mind. More on that topic to come.
