Alright. Let me just say this. Today wasn't fun and I didn't enjoy it (except for the very last part). 

Addison had asked me to come down to TCCF Friday evening to train with her and some other girls. I assumed I would be doing my own programming since she always does her own programming when she comes here, but she said the other girls were excited to have me work out with them so I figured it wouldn't hurt to stray from my programming for one day. Then Addison bailed at the last minute and I was left with this dumb programming instead of my awesome Friday programming. LESSON LEARNED. This was just way too much volume for my liking and most of it just seemed dumb. I basically pouted the entire time I was training today. 

Anyways. Front squats weren't bad at all, they actually got easier with each set. 

Power cleans were okay, my lower back kind of lit up during this for some reason.

The CTB/barbell piece was originally supposed to be FIVE ROUNDS. Luckily Stephen cut it down to three. And it still sucked! CTB pull ups were unbroken for the first two sets and then sort of fell apart in the third round because my grip was shot. I really don't care for light barbell cycling because my grip always falls apart. I felt like I was standing around a lot during this workout. 

The only part of my training I enjoyed today was the assault bike piece, it was pretty fun. Stephen let me do freestanding handstand push ups and they went really well! I did eight unbroken the last round which is definitely a PR. I thought I moved really well through this workout. 

Never straying from my programming again, I didn't care for the Ben Bergeron comp stuff. Way too much volume.
