DB upright rows were cool, I don't think I've ever done these before.

Snatch pulls were weird today, it felt like I hadn't snatched in a really long time. 195 was heavy and getting slow so I called it there. 

I was looking forward to the 10:00 AMRAP but I didn't finish it. I had just started my first round and I caught my fifth muscle up really weird, my hands were almost in front of me instead of to the side and I had to press out more than normal out of the dip. When I came down off the rings, my left shoulder blew up, I guess I tweaked it on that last muscle up? I did the GHD sit ups and assault bike but my shoulder was really bothering me so I just stopped. I didn't think I could do any more muscle ups. Sorry Stevo. I have never had this happen on the left shoulder before and that's why I got a little freaked out. I don't know if I didn't warm up enough or didn't do enough mobility? But that was the first time it has ever happened. 

I took a really long rest before I started the ski erg piece. My shoulder was still feeling a little weird but I tested out the ski erg and it didn't bother me so I went ahead and did the workout. I didn't want the training session to be a total bust. I thought I did relatively well on this, my transitions were quick and I tried to do the ski erg as fast as possible. I really need to learn how to do the ski erg correctly, I'm pretty sure my form is all wrong. My lower back always gets really sore. Double unders were unbroken on the first and third set, I tripped on the 25th rep during the second set.

AM session was tough this morning, I felt like I was working a lot harder than I needed to stay on pace. 

1-arm DB shoulder press was really good until it wasn't. Everything was going much better than the previous week until I got to the third set. I was able to get five reps at 40# on my right arm but zero reps on my left. I just couldn't get the momentum going and I didn't want to dip and use my legs. Is this bad? 

Axle lunges were tough today, I was shaky and unstable. 

10:00 piece was fine, if I'm being totally honest I was a bit distracted by what was going on with the sudden regionals debacle and I wasn't pushing as hard as I should have been. Everything was good though, pull ups and toes to bar were easy. My toes to bar are definitely getting better!

Ehhhh I know I keep going too fast on my AM rows. I think I just get worried that I'm not going to hit the target pace so I end up going a little faster, just to be sure. I'll try to work on this.

PM sesh was cool, I really enjoy the 30:00 sessions. I liked the axle overhead carry, this was neat.
