Today started off really well and the quickly went downhill. 

Squat cleans were easy, it's still my breathing that's the main focus and not the weight. I'm trying to just get right back on the bar as soon as I drop it even though I'm breathing hard. I would like to see how heavy I can go with this. 

Thrusters/CTB went well today, I'm starting to enjoy this. It's definitely forcing me to get right on the pull up bar and I know this will help me down the road, especially if these movements come up in the Open. I feel very awkward when I do thrusters, is it possible to squat TOO low? I just feel like my ass is all the way to the ground and I don't need to go THAT low, it almost seems inefficient. But I also don't want to cut the ROM short either. I need to find a good balance between the two, my squat depth on thrusters seems like it's almost slowing me down. 

Oh my gosh, the wall ball/rope climb workout was SO TERRIBLE, I DID THE WORST JOB ON THIS. I paced the run too slow because I was anticipating doing all the wall balls, I think I did my run in either 3:40 or 3:49, I can't remember. Either way, it was a shit ton slower than what I ran last week. I remember coming into the gym and looking at the clock and thinking, "holy shit, why did I run so slow?" The wall balls were also terrible, I totally bitched out on these and there was no reason for it. I'm pretty sure I didn't do more than 12 in a set. WHY. There was no excuse for this, especially because I did this exact workout multiple times for regionals. Rope climbs weren't terrible, I was trying to get back on the rope as soon as possible but it was still too slow. After this workout was over, I sat on the wall ball for a solid five minutes and just pouted. There was literally no reason for me to do poorly on this workout, especially since I had done the run/wall ball combination multiple times while training for regionals. Oh man, I was so sad and angry when this was over. I was just like, Chelsea, get your shit together. Sometimes I feel like I am mentally making progress and then days like today make me feel like I haven't made any progress at all when it comes to the mental aspect of hurting during a workout.
