Wow what an amazing day. I learned so much from James, he is so smart and fun to listen to, and really funny. He just knows so much about programming, nutrition, the way the body reacts during workouts, why things happen the way they do, etc. I learned a ton today and can't wait to learn even more tomorrow. Everything he says is so valuable and I'm really happy he came to CSC to do this athlete camp. The first workout today went really well, I did that one back in June so I already knew what to expect. I wasn't expecting to PR today, but I cleaned 185 and it felt good so I figured I would go for a PR. I went for 195 and got it, PR! That felt really good too so I went for got 200 and got it! Yay! I am so excited. I think I could have cleaned 205 but then the 8:00 was up. Next time! The next part was AMRAP power cleans in 8:00 at 90%. I cleaned 180 pounds 23 times and had 4 misses. I missed one clean in the middle and three at the end, I was trying to push it but was too fatigued to get tight in the set up. The second workout was FUCKING AWFUL. Oh my god. Holy shit. It was the closest I have come to throwing up after a workout, ever. I knew it was going to be bad but I didn't think I would be THAT fucked up after each round. Wow. I really did feel like I was pushing at max effort and my transitions were relatively quick so that's good. The KB swings were probably the easiest part, the burpees and rows sucked a lot. This workout was just terrible, I really felt like I was going to throw up after each round. I'm happy I was able to push through and finish. I am definitely going to work on getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and pushing through pain. As James said today, "You meet pain right in the eyes and say fuck you"
