Snatches felt good today, all of them were really easy. Overhead squats were a bit shaky, especially at 135. Not being allowed to move my feet between the snatch and overhead squats has really made me realize how wide my feet land during my snatches. I definitely need to try and fix this, I'll have to work on it when Chelsea Kyle comes to CSC in a few weeks. 

Back squats were a bit better than last week, 195 was easier this time and I only struggled on the last rep of 205. 

The 8:00 AMRAP........oh boy. You know that thing when you glance at your programming and you think you know what the workout is and then you do the workout and then you find out you did it in the wrong order? Arggggg. I was supposed to do double unders first but I thought it was wall balls then double unders. DAMMIT. Stephen said it really didn't matter but I was still frustrated with myself for messing it up. Putting that mistake aside, I was still pleased with my performance on this. There were a few things I was annoyed with, like the fact that I dropped the wall ball with 30 seconds left. THIRTY SECONDS. There was no reason for that. If this was the open, I would never do that. I don't know why I did it. My transitions were pretty good overall, although at round 5 I started taking too much rest before I started the wall ball. I was breathing hard but I can tell I've improved a lot in that area because I never really stopped to bend over and rest in the middle of a set like I used to. I just don't enjoy it when there's only two movements in a workout, I would much rather do a chipper. Also, this was more muscle fatigue than anything. My shoulders were toasted, the last round of wall balls hurt so much. My quads were also extremely sore after this. Happy with my performance but I definitely could have done better.
