Long, unplugged hike

DNS


walked around OTR with Heather and Emily and also mowed the lawn for an hour so....yeah I know that doesn't count. I've lost my motivation to go hiking lately. One of my hiking buds is in a sling, one has been doing the hill runs every Sunday, and one just moved back to Cleveland. I need to start driving to some parks closer to my house, it's hard to drive all the way to Ault Park or Cincinnati Nature Center if I'm hiking solo. I will try to get better at making this a priority.

Oh my. Today was the worst lifting session I've had in quite some time. Every single lift was bad. I was excited going into this because I'm really looking forward to the lifting meet next weekend and I was hoping this would build some confidence. Nope. My set up for every snatch was different, I was landing on my toes and the weight felt very heavy overhead. I worked up to a shaky 145, tried again and failed, so I called it there. Clean and jerks weren't much better, I went 125-155-175-185. The jerk wasn't hard, it was actually the clean that felt slow. Am I overestimating my openers? I didn't think I was but now I'm not sure, everything was legit garbage today. 

The partner workout was cool, it was fun teaming up with Linnea. I ripped my hand on the very last set of pull ups (classic). I did sets of 10-15 on the pull ups and 20-25 on the wall balls. We split the row 500 each then she ran 400m and I did .5 on the assault bike. I felt good throughout this whole workout!

I love Fridays!

Back squats were kind of tough today, 205 isn't very impressive for a set of five...

Weighted pull ups were solid, I was happy with this. 

The assault bike/GHD/MU piece was actually fun. GHD paired with muscle ups is a nasty combo, I really started to feel it on the third set of MUs. I thought I kept a pretty solid pace on the assault bike and GHDs but my muscle ups slowed WAY down. I was resting a lot between sets, especially on the third round. I was just standing around staring at the rings a lot. I used the thin rings just to switch it up and it wasn't too bad. MUs were broken up 4/4/1, 3/3/3, 2/2/2/3. Not the best. I should have been under fifteen minutes on this, I was on pace to beat it but I had fifteen in my head so I allowed myself to rest too long during the last round. So jive. ("Jive" means lame in jazz speak). 

Farmers walk wasn't terrible, I took a short break every 50 meters.

Unfortunately I was not able to complete my AM sesh today. I had to cover the 7:00 AM class at MSC and I was planning on doing z2 on the airdyne during my 30 minute break between classes, but a few people ended up staying after class for awhile and by the time they left the 7:00 people were starting to filter in and my window has disappeared. I was bummed about this because I enjoy my Wednesday AM sessions. Oh well. Next week. 

Snatch balances were rough today, these weren't very smooth. The weight felt heavy overhead. 

The bar muscle up/handstand walk workout was really fun! I enjoyed this one. Bar muscle ups were unbroken for all sets, handstand walk was broken up once during the second set (I thought I had already passed the line) and once during the fifth set. I tried to keep my transitions short but I should have pushed the rest more before the bar muscle ups. 

It was effing hot today.
