Today was fun. Power cleans felt really easy, the :30 flew by. The partner workout with Heather was awesome, I thought we did really well. I started on the row and she started with double unders. Stephen told us to try to keep the row around a 2:00 pace, that definitely got a bit tough near the end. I think I ended up around a 2:03. Double unders were broken up on purpose because I was tired from the row. I think I broke about 4 different times. I had about a minute rest before we started the snatches but I know during the comp I probably won't have that much rest time since guys tend to row faster than females. The power snatches felt VERY light. I hit 2 right away and then they were all singles after that. I never felt like I was in danger of failure and never really had to stop and take a breath. Heather and I did a good job of staying close to the bar and rolling it towards the other person after each rep. It's always fun working out with my bud!

Not for time stuff was alright, Stephen told me I need to fix my form on the GHR. I will definitely need to drop down in weight on that until I can correct it but I'm glad I know. The L-sits were better than last time so that's good!

Snatches were better than last week, I haven't done them from a hang in awhile but they felt good. It was nice to go back to working with lighter weight and focus on technique. My speed under the bar was good, still trying to work on staying back on my heels for every rep. When I was working at 105 I fell on my butt after the second rep, that was weird. I think I just over-corrected. DB split squats were tough today, I think I should have been able to get more than 6 but my legs were really tired on these. 

I'm really happy with how my bench press is improving. I was able to get 135 for 3 reps, that's only 10 pounds under my current 1RM, and they went up pretty easily. Farmer's walk was pretty tough, the hardest part is actually standing up with the weight but then walking with it isn't that bad. I think I might be getting close to my max on that. 

Airdyne was good. Overall a solid day.
