Today was much better, not sure what the deal was yesterday. 

The snatch and clean EMOM was a lot easier than last week, mostly because I had one less rep each minute. Snatches felt really solid today. 

The two pieces at 80% were good, I enjoyed both of these.

DNS- ran out of time before coaching 


Had to skip my AM session this morning because I ended up taking Pat to Glenn's office for some tooth surgery. I had to get my morning classes covered and didn't have any time to do anything. Ugh. I will make these up next week.

I came into my PM session really tired. I'm not sure if it's because my normal routine was thrown off or what, but I was feeling very drained. 

Handstand walks were not great today, I had trouble steadying myself above the ab mat each time. I kept walking past it and would have to hold it for awhile until I could get myself in the right position over the ab mat (thanks freestanding handstand practice!) and I also failed a few FSHSPU, I had to do a forward roll two different times (thanks forward roll practice!). This just didn't feel good today. 

Cleans were easy.

The assault bike/push up workout was rough, I felt like garbage. My legs and arms were just dead. I thought I would be able to at least break up the push ups in sets of 10 each set but I was breaking them up a LOT. I actually wanted to quit halfway through because I was pissed off about how shitty I was feeling. Zero energy today. 

9/12/2016

A. Front squat from the ground (squat clean counts as first rep) 3-3-3-3-3 building, begin a set every 3:00
B. Standing hand over hang sled pull (lats doing most of the work, tough load that can still be predominantly upper-body movement) 4x15m a bit heavier than last week, begin a set every :90
+
4 sets:
20 unbroken wall balls, 20 to 9'
:10 rest
max (-1) unbroken toes to bar
3:00 rest
+
Crossover Symmetry recovery

Happy with the front squats from the ground, 205 was my goal. It definitely wasn't my best clean, it pulled me a bit forward and I had to take a second to reset before the front squats. 

The sled pull wasn't bad, this mostly just hurts my hands when I pull the strap. Also, as I was doing this, I noticed my right lat was getting really aggravated. It was already sore when I started warming up but as I kept doing the sled pull it started feeling pretty pissed off. I must have tweaked something on Saturday during all the pull ups? 

Wall balls were MUCH easier than last week, I hit 20 easily each set and last week I was really struggling with 25. I subbed 15 GHD sit ups instead of the toes to bar because it hurt to hang from the bar.

The height on the blocks was awkward, it was tough for me to clean from here. It was almost too high to really drive with my legs so I felt like I was just pulling with my arms the entire time. 

The partner workout with Conner was fun, I never get to train with him so this was a real treat. We split up the run into sets of 150m. Pull ups were randomly traded back and forth, he was doing strict and I was doing butterfly. I started out with sets of ten but my reps dropped a little as we kept going. We did pull ups for a really long time. Row was broken up 400/300/400/300. Conner did a large set of wall balls to start and then we traded sets of 10-12. These got really tough and we were also using heavy wall balls. It was cool working out with Conner, Stevo, and Kelsey. I always enjoy partner workouts!
