Workout of the Week: 5 Rounds... Not for Time

5 Rounds...Not For Time

This week's workout was submitted by @pbates.getsfit on Instagram. We've all been there, we see a WOD and it maybe looks so "easy" or maybe you're just having an off day. You can't succeed if you don't try. Here's a 5 round workout.

Today's WOD was lighter than I had planned. I went at the STOH at 115# and could quickly tell I was going to regret completing the whole thing that heavy. I was going to do 95# but decided against it. This was originally planned with front squats instead of band pulls as well. I'll get the squats in next week. I repeated the floor plate press WOD I did the other day afterwards as well. I'm not dead, but this was a very off Saturday. I really need to get back into a routine in the early mornings and rebuild. On a positive note, today is the last Saturday without #michiganwolverines football! My second favorite time of year!
