5 rounds NFT:

10 wall ball
20 double unders
10 toes to bar
10 burpee pull ups

goal was quick transitions and minimal rest. The burpee pull ups got surprisingly tiring but it was a good workout. After that was the olympic lifting clinic with Mark Cannella. It was really cool getting to work with him and he definitely gave me some helpful tips regarding my snatch and clean and jerk. He pointed out that I am really tensing up my shoulders when I go to set up for a snatch or clean. He said weightlifting is all about being relaxed, and that really made me think. I have never thought of weightlifting as being relaxing at all, I am always thinking "tight, everything needs to be tight" but he said it's all about being relaxed and he was right. When I didn't tense up my shoulders I noticed a big difference in my execution of the snatch. He was a really cool guy and hopefully I'll get to work with him again.
It was great working with Mark!
