Didn't get to complete my AM session, I usually do it after the 5:30 class but the snow was already coming down pretty hard so I went home before the roads got bad. This turned out to be a good decision as it took me 50 minutes to drive from Lebanon to Loveland on the snowy roads. 

Snatches were good today, overhead squats were a little shaky. 

Snatch-grip deadlifts were surprisingly tough, they got heavy by the fourth set. 

I was pretty disappointed with the strict handstand push ups, they did not feel good today at all. Last week I was able to do easy sets of five unbroken and today I was struggling to do three. My shoulders were fatigued by the fifth set. Four minutes is definitely too slow for this. I was pretty disappointed but I also realized during regionals training I struggled to just get three at a time, so there has definitely been improvement since then. This was just off today. 

The five minute pieces were really hard! My goal was to do the KB swings unbroken but I dropped it with FOUR REPS to go. OMG. WHY. I literally wrote "WHY, WHY DID YOU DO THAT" in my notebook afterwards. I have no idea why I didn't do these unbroken. I tried to keep the burpees as steady as possible. The second time around the burpees were definitely a lot slower than the first set and I rested too long before picking up the KB. This was actually a pretty nasty combo.
