Wow, what an excellent day! Snatches felt great, no misses. 150 was very easy today. 

Weighted pull ups were also really easy, I worked up to 65# pretty fast. I thought I hit a PR but I looked at my blog and realized I have lost a few pounds since the last time I did weighted pull ups so...nevermind. But I'm happy I can quickly work up to that heavy of a weight. 

I finally got to test "Amanda" again! I have been wanting to do this for a long time. The last time I did this workout was two years ago and I was on the OPT Will program. It took me 18:13. Today it took me 8:02. I shaved 10 minutes off my previous time! I am so happy about this. I broke up the muscle ups 3/3/3, then 2/2/2/1, then 2/2/1. Snatches were all singles. I think the only way I could have gone any faster would be for me to string together the snatches, but I didn't want to fail any. I didn't have any failed muscle ups or failed snatches, so that was cool. Overall I feel really good about my performance on this. Thanks Stephen for cheering me on! 

Row sprints were a little rough, I was pretty tired from Amanda. I lost it a bit on the third one, legs and lungs were burning. 

Awesome day!

Great day today. Split jerks felt really good, I probably could have gone to 185 but I was a bit shaky on 175 so I only jumped up 5 pounds, I wanted to make sure I hit all 3 reps. 

FINALLY cleaned over 195! I haven't been able to hit 200 for a few months. It wasn't pretty, I caught it pretty close to parallel and I could tell my back was rounding as I was standing it up, but I'm happy to finally get over the 195 mental block.

The EMOM was really fun, I enjoy the power clean/deadlift/double under combo. Cleans were at 170 and were very easy, I did 3 each time and I was able to pick up the bar with hardly any rest between singles. Double unders were all unbroken except for the fourth set, I tripped up on the 49th effing rep. DAMMIT. I can tell my double unders are getting much faster, so that's cool.
