I had to skip my AM session for a second time this week because of the snow. I'm getting really sick of your shit, winter. WRAP IT UP.

The PM session was pretty good. Shoulder to overhead felt easy, 145 and 160 were actually easier than 125 and 135. I couldn't really find a good rhythm on the set of 6 at 135. I wouldn't mind seeing some heavy shoulder to overhead in the open. 

The 21-15-9 workout was fun, I really enjoyed it. I broke up the deadlifts 7/7/7, I don't think I could have done those any differently. I almost dropped it with 2 reps left because my hands felt like they were starting to tear but I just held on to it. Burpees were steady and not bad at all, I don't really mind bar facing burpees anymore. Muscle ups were 4/3/2. The first two sets were very easy, the last 2 reps were a bit of a struggle, I caught both of them really low in the dip. I was also resting a bit too long between sets of MUs but overall I was pretty pleased with this. 

The thruster/toes to bar workout was rough. I did not enjoy this. I haven't done thrusters in a workout in awhile. During the first round I put the bar down after 10 reps and I immediately regretted it. There was really no reason to do it, I just felt like I should break it up for some reason. Toes to bar were 5/5/5 the first round then 5/4/2/2/1/1 the second round, I think. I broke them up a lot. I broke up the thrusters 8/5/2 on the second round. I felt terrible on this, breathing was bad and transitions were slow. I was standing around too much. I also started having this weird sharp pain in my right hand while I was doing thrusters, I'm not sure where that came from. I couldn't feel it on the toes to bar, only the thrusters. It's still kind of lingering, if I bend my hand all the way forward I can feel it. I'm hoping it goes away in the next day or two. I was pretty disappointed on how I felt on this workout, I don't want to feel that bad one week out from the open.
