WHAT A DAY. 

Thrusters were very easy, I should have gone heavier. I definitely could have hit 150 for 2. I was pausing slightly on the shoulders after the first rep for one second, I would like to move away from doing that just so the reps are more fluid but Stephen said it's okay for now if it's going to help me get heavier weight. I'll test it out next time and see if I can do it without pausing. Really happy with this though because I'm pretty sure my 1RM thruster is 150.

Muscle ups were great today. I started the first set and hit 8 in a row, that's a PR. YAY. They felt really good too, I might have been able to squeeze out one more but I didn't want to totally wreck myself for the rest of the time. I came off the rings and I was pretty winded. I hit 2 more then a single before time ran out. The second set wasn't as good, the first five felt really easy but then my forearms started blowing up a bit, plus I was still sort of winded from the first set. I hit 5, then 2, then 2. I'm not sure why muscle ups make me breathe so hard, after the first set I felt like I had just sprinted 100 meters. I think I just need to try and relax while I'm doing them and focus on my breathing more. I'm really happy with the PR. Progress! 

The EMOM is basically when the training session started going downhill. I was so winded throughout the entire thing. All the wall balls were UB and so were TTB. It was completely opposite from last week, the wall balls were tough but the TTB were easy and fast. I don't think I should have been breathing that hard during this EMOM. I might have still been tired from the MUs? Not sure. Did not have a lot of energy for this. 

The row sprints were pretty terrible and at this point I was really drained. I am not sure why I was so low on energy all of a sudden because at the beginning of the training session I felt great. I'm happy all my sprints were consistent. The day ended a bit rough but overall very happy.

AM session went much better than last week, I changed up what I ate for dinner the night before and felt much lighter going into the AM session. I'm really happy with how much my running is improving, my pace is getting quicker but I'm still able to maintain my breathing at 90%. Recovery between movements was overall a lot better than last week. 

Split jerk tech work was solid, I never went above 145. When I worked with Chelsea a few weeks ago, she told me I do this weird thing before I jerk where I lock and unlock my knees a bunch, so I worked on not doing that. I also worked on dropping lower underneath the bar. 

Power cleans felt real heavy today. REALLLLLL HEAVY. I worked up to 195 but caught it pretty low so I called it there. I was really disappointed with the 3:00 AMRAP, I only got 12 cleans @ 175. What the heck. Usually 175 is not heavy for me at all, I'm not sure what was going on but I definitely should have gotten more than 12 cleans in 3 minutes. My muscle were never fatigued but I was breathing really had on this just like I was last week. 

The 5 sets at increasing effort went well, although I'm not sure if my fifth time should be a lot faster than my first time? There's only a :27 difference between the first set and last set so I'm not sure if maybe I went either too fast on the first set or didn't pick up the pace enough on the last set. Double unders were all unbroken. 

Airdyne was good, breathing on this is definitely improving.
