I wasn't able to get in any Z1 this morning, I coached from 5:30-8:00, had an elements client from 8:00-9:00, PT clients from 9:00-10:00 then coached class from 10:00-11:00. Busy morning.

Back squats felt excellent today, 240 would have been an easy set of three, except.....my belt popped off before the third rep. Ugh. THANKS HOLIDAY BLOAT. The first two reps were pretty easy and then my belt popped off. I decided to just keep going but the third rep was ugly, I could feel my back immediately start to round and I wasn't tight at all coming out of the bottom. I got it but it wasn't pretty. 

Muscle ups were very easy, all sets caught on straight arms. This was the best these have felt in weeks. 

I think I did okay on the rope climb workout? I really tried to stay moving as best as I could, the prowler gets tough so quickly. I was breathing really hard by the third set. I could tell I was also wasting too much time turning the prowler around. I thought my rope climbs were pretty quick although I was resting too much near the end. This might have been too slow but overall I was pretty pleased with it. 

Today was the first day in weeks where I walked away after training feeling good about my performance. I haven't been feeling confident in myself lately and I want to perform well during the Open. Sometimes I worry that I've "peaked" already and that I won't be able to contribute to our team. Lately I've been walking away from training thinking that I didn't do anything note-worthy and that I'm falling behind everyone else. I know I just need to stick with it, take care of my body and keep working.
