AM session was cool this morning, I enjoyed doing everything without any rest. 

PM session was really fun! The shoulder to overhead felt so easy today. I did push jerk for all sets because I think realistically that's what I'll be doing in the open and it's also more efficient. I started at 115 since 105 sucked so much last week but it was way too easy. 125 was also really light so I jumped to 145 for 4 and that was no problem. 

The deadlift workout went really well. I broke up the deadlifts in sets of 5 until the last 5 reps, I had to break those up 3/2. 175 was pretty easy, it didn't start getting tough until 20 reps in, and even then it was mostly breathing. I never felt like the weight was heavy. I really wish my pistols were faster. They are getting better but they're still too slow. I was able to do them on my right leg without holding my opposite foot but I still had to hold my right foot when I was doing them on my left leg. Merrrr. Progress I guess. I just need to keep working on these so I can do them faster and without knee sleeves. 

The ground to overhead workout went pretty well, although I wish I would have gotten a few more reps. This one was tough to do after the deadlift piece because my grip was still a bit fatigued from the deadlifts. I did the first 3 GTO unbroken, then 4/2, then I switched to singles.  My TTB were unbroken the first set and then all smaller sets after that. My transitions could have been better, I would go directly from the TTB to GTO but I was resting too much before I started my toes to bar. I need to just drop the weight and then jump right up on the bar. Even if I have to do singles, it's still better than standing bent over for 3 seconds before starting. I was pretty happy with my breathing on this, I never felt like I couldn't do another rep. I remember two years ago during the open this workout felt like shit, especially the ground to overhead. I don't remember my score from two years ago but I'm sure it was close to what I got today. It was really fun working out with Duprie, Lauren, and Pat! Those guys are the best.
