AM session was very enjoyable, it was nice to have something different than my usual airdyne/ski erg piece. 

IT FELT SO AWESOME TO SNATCH AGAIN. HUZZAH! I was so excited for this. I was a little nervous since the last time I snatched was before the Open. The first rep was a little iffy, I came way forward on my toes. As the reps got heavier, they got better. I had one miss at 130 because I rushed my set up. Other than that, everything felt great. 130 was a little heavy but that's probably because I haven't snatched anything other than 75 pounds in the last 6 weeks. Very excited to get back to heavy lifting. 

The rope climb/bear crawl piece was actually kind of depressing. I felt extremely heavy the entire time. I know I gained weight throughout the Open, I can feel it. I do not feel or look as lean as I was 6 weeks ago, and that's frustrating. I ate extremely clean throughout the Open, so I know feeling and looking "soft" is coming from the decreased volume of training over the past 6 weeks. I'm ready to get back to training hard 5 days a week and feeling lean again, especially because I have the combine coming up and I don't want to feel heavy for any of the gymnastics movements.
