My week hiatus ended today and I completed the WOD with a new PR. Back Squats, five reps x five sets: 205, 225, 240, 245, and 250. I felt good and probably pushed myself to use too much weight. My form was a little off the last few reps. I leaned forward a little and used my back muscles - not good, I know. Hopefully, we'll keep doing leg exercises, especially air squats, etc., so I can continue to increase my leg strength. I definitely needed a week's break, but now I'm ready to get with it!
I miss my friends at CrossFit Clarksville. Right now, I'm on my own until I figure out how my budget looks here. The CrossFit gyms in the area are $147.00 and up per month. I checked the gym on post. They don't have ropes, boxes, wall balls and rings, but they don't mind people bringing in their own equipment. The clerks said a couple people loop their own ropes and rings over the rafters and go for it. I might use two months worth of membership fees and just purchase a wall ball and some ring dips. I found a 20lbs wall ball on line for $69.00. I'm going to look locally but I don't thank that's too bad of a price. I can make my own box or find something cheap and suitable. I think that might be more cost effective in the long run. I just need to find a partner or three so we can time each other and compete.
