some catchup

Last Friday, did a silly wod of rope pullups and pushups.  The prescribed wod was 12 minutes amrap of 15 ft rope climb, 1 ascent, and 15 pushups.  Since I don't have a rope, i subbed for one rope climb=5 rope pullups, 5knees to bar, 5 narrow air squats (stupid sub, but after reading various threads about a good sub for rope climb, this is what i came up with).  After two rounds of subbing all of this, i thought this is stupid, with this wod I need to get better at rope pullups, not knees to bar and not narrow air squats, so for the remaining rounds just subbed 5 rope pullups for each rope climb.  Ended up with 6 rounds.  Not good.  My grip was dying and I had bad rope burn.  I actually considered doing it again right after I finished bc i was unhappy with switching the wod halfway through, but my hands were in too much pain.

Saturday, did ten rounds of 2 rep backsquat (2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2).
Produced this:
155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205, 215, 225, 235, 235 with holders.

Would've tried for 240 on the last set if I had more weight, probably would've failed.  Started seeing spots on the first rep of the last set.  Need to buy more plates, probably a pair of 2.5 lb plates and 35 lb plates.  Fun stuff.
