I was definitely not feeling 100% today, most likely due to lack of sleep (this is why new years eve is the worst). Clean thruster was pretty solid, I worked up to 155 very easily. 

The AMRAP was a little disappointing. The KB thrusters were definitely the hardest part. Alex told me to go 12-10-8 instead of 10-10-10 and I'm glad I did, I think that was better choice from a mental standpoint because it's always easier when the numbers are decreasing. The last set of a 8 was a struggle. Once I got to the toes to bar, I realized my grip was already shot. As I was reaching up towards the bar my hands and forearms were pretty fatigued. I knew this would not bode well for the muscle ups. And it didn't. I got to the rings with two minutes left and only got six muscle ups. Mehhhh. Not great. I was hoping to get at least 8. The first muscle up was a shock, I could barely pull my arms back at the top of the dip. I did two in a row then did all singles after that. Every rep was difficult because my grip was just so tired from the KB thrusters. Breathing was never an issue, I've done muscle ups much better than that while breathing a lot harder. It was basically all grip. I would like to do this one again at some point because I know I can do better on this. On the plus side, I thought I would have to do this workout completely by myself but Stephen, Heather, Alex, Annie, Cody and Jon all stuck around and cheered me on. That was really nice. I probably would have rested a lot longer between muscle ups if I didn't have Stephen telling me to test it out. 

Row sprints were pretty much the same as last time, legs were smoked today. Overall just felt very drained, I'm glad the holidays are over so I can get back on a normal schedule.
