Today actually went a lot better than I thought it would. Let me just start by saying I came in to the gym in a pretty bad mood. I had a stressful morning and I was also pretty disappointed about not getting an invite to the combine. It was one of those rare days where I came in and just wanted to get the work done so I could leave. I was feeling frustrated because I had to completely cut out the first portion of my workout and I was bummed out I couldn't do muscle ups. I fully understand why I can't do shoulder to overhead or muscle ups right now, it would be the dumbest thing ever to fuck up my hand on the eve of the Open and I definitely don't want to mess with it. I was just feeling sorry for myself and wallowing in everything that was going wrong at the moment. In other words, I was being a Lil B. 

 As I was warming up for the rope climb workout, I tried to change my attitude. Instead of being pissed about not being able to do muscle ups, I decided to look at it as an opportunity to work on my rope climbs. I decided to use all my frustration and go HAM on my workout. I definitely went as hard as I could. The burpee box jump overs were pretty quick, I slowed down a little bit on the set of 9 but I thought the set of 15 and 12 were relatively fast. My transition from rope to box was very quick, I walked right from the rope to the box and immediately went into a burpee. I tried to cut down the rest between rope climbs, I think the only time I was resting too much was on the set of 2 because I was breathing pretty hard by this point. All the climbs felt really good, Heather said they looked fast so that's a good sign! I felt really good after this was over. 

I was pretty pleased with the :60 airdyne calories. I think I could have gone out a bit harder in the beginning, I think I was a little slow the first :15 because I wasn't fully recovered from the first workout. I was hurting pretty bad afterwards, legs were blown up. 

I was definitely in a better mood after I trained. I need to remember to use situations like the combine as a motivator to keep training hard so I can reach my goals.
