I didn't have to coach at CF Leb this morning so I slept in. Back to the normal schedule next week.

YES. I FINALLY SNATCHED 160 AGAIN! I am so psyched about this, I was not expecting to hit this number at all today. I thought I would work up to 135, 145 at the most. This was a huge confidence boost, especially since my Friday snatch sessions have been going really poorly the past few weeks. I think doing the light snatch balances helped a lot, I was really fast under the bar on every rep and this was the most aggressive I've been since I started snatching again. Every rep felt awesome and I had no misses. 160 was actually really easy, which gives me hope for a snatch PR soon. HUZZAH! THE DAY IS MINE.

Jerk balances were good, worked up to 125 on these. No pain in the shoulder. 

Clean pulls/deadlifts were SO. HEAVY. I hated life during this part. I have no idea why it was so easy last week and then this week it felt impossible. This was exhausting. 

I was breathing really hard during the aerobic piece, this was depressing. All handstand walks were unbroken. It's the ski erg that gets me, it felt like someone was sitting on my chest by the third round. This piece seemed to last forever.

Power snatches actually went very well today! I had no misses and worked up to 145 pretty easily (video). My technique on 140 and 145 definitely isn't the best, I can tell I'm starting to catch wide, but this is the most aggressive my turnover has been in weeks.

Snatch pulls were easy (video). 

DB rows were fine.

The 15:00 was surprisingly tiring, it was sort of hard to keep this at 80%. All KB swings were unbroken. 

Solid day overall!

Back squats felt reallyyyyy heavy today, I'm not sure why. I did 205 for three reps last week and today I could barely squeak out two reps. I decided to go up to 210 and I was able to hit both reps but they weren't pretty. 

Muscle ups were very easy. 

Both EMOMs were fine, rope climbs were fast.
