Take it easy

This is it, the week I will test my new one rep maxes.  This also means that today through Wednesday workouts will be seemingly easy and extremely low volume.  I've also decided to ditch the MetCon's and give myself the best shot at being 100% prepared to max out.

Max out schedule looks like this:

Monday - none
Tuesday - Bench Press, Weighted Chin-Up
Wednesday - none
Thursday - none
Friday - CF Total (Squat, Press, Deadlift)
Saturday - C&J, Snatch, Push Press

Still not sure what routine I'll jump into after this week, but I definitely feel like I need to start adding more MetCons in and just sticking with the core lifts (Squat/Front Squat, Press, Deadlift, Snatch, C&J).  I've thought about starting to follow Mike's Gym, but I feel it will lead to similar issues as the current program I'm on (too much strict lifting, not enough metcon - unless I go over on time).

Today

Squat
95x5
115x5
145x5
165x3
195x3
245x1x2

C&J
95x1
115x1
145x1
165x1
185x1x2

Still sore from my double on Saturday which lead to my decision to ditch MetCons until Saturday (CF Clayton visit!).  Nothing else to report.
