Rest...who needs it

Well yesterday I had the full intention of going and mobilizing, doing maybe a light jog and some double unders. I ended up doing a heavy squat workout and the baseline WOD again. So much for my rest day. I got to the gym and just had to squat since we had not in a while. I felt great too.

Strength:
5,3,1,1,1,1
Box Squat + red and green bands (about 35-45 #'s of tension at the top)

I felt great going into this. As I lifted more weight, my body loosened up even more. I decided to act like an idiot while working out as well. I had watched the Ronnie Coleman video earlier that day where he basically calls everything light weight. I decided to do the same, screaming light weight at the top of my lungs. It was quite funny, especially watching Tiffany just roll her eyes at me the whole time. My work sets were (weight minus the bands):
5- 275
3- 315
1- 365
1- 385
1-405
1-415 (this has got to be some sort of PR, it was a lot of freaking weight!)

WOD:
Baseline Test
400m Run
50 pushups
50 squats
50 Situps
500m Row
Previous Time: 8:51

I wasn't going to do a WOD at all, but then decided I needed to do some sort of cardio. A couple of the ladies were doing the baseline test so I decided to jump in with them. I had a good 1:30 run, just keeping a good pace. I came in and did my pushups and squats unbroken. I had to take a rest at 38 on the situps, but it was a very short rest. I hopped on the rower and tried to pull the chain out of the wheel. I forgot one thing though. The rower turns on automatically if you start pulling, but it does miss about 15 seconds if you do not wait for it to turn on. I did not wait. I had about 6 pulls that did not register, and as hard as I was pulling that was about 125m. Once it started registering, I pulled 150m at a 1:12 pace, but quickly died.With the extra pulls not registering, I ended up rowing about 6:25 and added probably 20 seconds to my time, but I wound up with a PR by over 2 minutes.

Time: 6:35
