Today started out pretty well and then went sort of downhill. I really enjoyed the lifting portion, that was a cool complex. Weight was feeling very light today, clean pulls at 180 felt the same as the pulls at 125. When I went to power clean 180 I actually pulled it a lot higher than I expected and I dropped under the bar before it even hit my shoulders, so it kind of came crashing down on me. Stephen said I looked like I wasn't expecting to pull it that high and I kind of surprised myself. My legs were still extremely sore from the wall ball/ double under workout from yesterday and they were dragging on the power cleans. I felt like I wasn't driving my feet into the ground very aggressively, my legs seemed to be on a two second delay from the rest of my body. Even so, lifting still felt great today. 

The first row was kind of a mess, I was pulling so slow but for some reason I couldn't make myself go any faster. The second row was better, I was able to find a good rhythm. Again, legs were feeling sore from yesterday. 

The deadlift/muscle up workout was pretty bad. I thought I was going to just smash this and that was not the case. Deadlifts were not the problem, they were easy and all unbroken. It was the muscle ups. My hands were in a lot of pain during this, as soon as I jumped up to the rings to do the first muscle up I knew I was in trouble. I'm not sure why my hands hurt so much today but it was very uncomfortable to grab the rings. This was the worst my muscle ups have been in a long time, they felt like shit. I'm not used to jumping to the rings from the ground so my kip was extremely off. Also, I could only go so fast on the muscle ups because I had to steady the rings each time I came off. I was just going SO slow between each rep and they were sloppy. These were just really off today and I was pretty bummed after this was over. I was pretty disappointed with my performance on this. Not my best weekend of training.
