I wasn't sure how the 45:00 assault bike was going to go since I had to skip it two weeks in a row but it actually went really well! This wasn't difficult at all. I put on my awesome playlist and just zoned out. 

I liked doing the bird dogs, it was cool doing something different. 

The lunges were okay, I wasn't really sure how heavy I would be able to go on these since I haven't done them in awhile. I think 145 is decent. My right knee felt a little weird after I was done but I rolled it out and it feels fine now. 

The EMOM was okay, I started out with sets of five CTB pull ups but by the end I was down to four because I could feel my left palm starting to rip. Deadlifts were easy. I would like to be paired with Alex for this event if possible? I think he'll push me to keep moving more than anyone else. 

Row sprints were fine, my pace fell off a little bit on the third one. 

This is the third day in a row I've have absolutely zero motivation to train. I am so tired and feel physically and mentally exhausted right now. I'm sure it's a mixture of a number of things: I'm still recovering from the competition, I'm still sad about Dundie, it's hot and humid as fuck. My body has felt like garbage for the past three days and all I want to do is lay around in the air conditioning and sleep.

Balza rehab


Rows were tough today, still sore and tired. Pistols weren't bad, I wore my knee sleeves and metcons. I'll definitely wear my lifters for the competitions so they'll be much faster. 

Stone work was easy. 

The HSW/assault bike/run piece was terrible, it was so humid I couldn't breathe. I think that was the worst it has been in the gym in quite awhile. I just couldn't fully recover between each set because I couldn't really catch my breath. All handstand walks were unbroken and pretty fast. I tried to keep the assault bike around 58-60 RPM but it dipped down to 56 on the last two sets, I'm guessing that's why my fourth and fifth sets were slower? I don't think I slowed down that much on the run.

Front squats felt heavy. Still feeling very sore from Saturday. 

The EMOM was fine, the 20 pound wall balls actually weren't as bad as I thought they would be. Toes to bar were easy.
