I only had time to fit in four row sprints this morning but I forgot how much these hurt. Keep them coming though.

Can we just talk about my snatch misses for a second? (watch this video and prepare to be amazed at how many different ways I fail). Snatches were feeling GREAT today, this was the first time in a few weeks that I felt fast and stable under the bar. I worked up to 160 extremely quickly and easily, I wish I would have filmed it. I decided to go for 170 since 160 was so easy. The first miss was behind. The second miss was in front. The third miss was perhaps the saddest of them all. I actually caught it and stood up with it, but in the video you can see my left foot turn a weird direction as I'm standing up and then my left arm goes back too far and I lose it behind me at the very last second. This was sad, I thought I had it. There's nothing worse than thinking you're about to nail a PR and then you don't. The fourth miss was out in front. I called it there. I know I can hit this very soon, the pull was never heavy and I almost had it twice, I physically stood up with it! This was the worst. I'll get it soon. 

The clean workout with Matt went well, our cleans were good but our pull ups could have been a lot better. I thought we cycled the cleans pretty quickly, we stuck to all singles, but I know we can cycle them even faster. Our pull ups were slow and we didn't do enough. I opened with a set of 8 and then dropped to sets of 3-5 from there. Our transitions weren't fast enough, we were waiting too long to jump up to the bar. I don't know how confident I would be about doing this event. I mean, I'll do it if that's what's best. But I definitely need to cycle my CTB pull ups a lot faster. 

The EMOM was fun and easy, handstand push ups and deadlifts were no problem.

Great day in the gym!
