Everything felt really good today, I am getting more and more excited for the competition. I am a little disappointed in how I did on the clean and jerk ladder, I was hoping to get up to 185. Everything up to 175 felt super easy. I failed a clean at 165, I was too far forward but I was able to make it up in the remaining time. As I was getting higher and higher in the ladder I noticed my bees knees were really bothering me, almost to the point where my whole leg felt numb. Once I got up to 175, I couldn't really focus on anything else other than how numb my legs felt, it was very weird. When I failed the second jerk at 175, I didn't even really care, I just wanted to take my bees knees off. Stephen told me to wear them around my ankles until I get high enough in the ladder to where I think I'll need them. I know I can get higher than 175 on Saturday, I just wasn't focused and I think I was also rushing my cleans. I know I will do better on Saturday. Muscle ups felt really good today, turnover was quick. The double under/thruster workout went well, I almost got 4 rounds. The thrusters felt really light, I just kept tripping up on the double unders for some reason, it was frustrating. I was happy to almost get 4 rounds though because Jeff got 4 rounds.
