I was a little nervous to do thrusters today because I haven't done anything with a bar besides deadlifts and back squats for over a week due to my hand hurting. But the thrusters felt good today! No pain in my hand, I was really happy with how the thrusters felt. The deadlifts/box jump workout was awesome, three sets of all out effort, the deadlifts were touch and go the whole time and my box jumps are definitely getting faster.

Definitely felt very tired today due to moving lots of furniture into my new apartment yesterday. The back squats felt heavy and not as good as they did a few days ago. The CTB pull ups were alright, I was taking about 25-30 seconds rest between each set. The back squat/double under workout went better than expected, I ended up doing the squats AND double unders unbroken. I really thought I was going to have to break up the set of 5 and 4 of the squats since my legs were so tired but I ended up doing all of them without having to break. Double unders were all unbroken which is good because if I messed up I would have to start over and do all of them again! It was also cool getting to watch Lee, Glenn, and Pat throw down today. Very ready for a rest day tomorrow.

complete with 90# on sled

I was happy I finally got to do some back squats, I feel like I haven't done those in months. They felt really good and I was able to keep good form on every set.  The CTB went well, didn't butterfly them, I still need to get better at that. The pistol/double under workout went a lot better than I thought it would, my pistols are getting so much faster, I think just from doing them so much lately. The left leg is still a little shaky but it's getting stronger, failed 2-3 on the left leg but other than that the pistols felt good and all double unders were unbroken. The sled drag was alright, I think I'm going to do this at least once a week because I want to not suck at it. I only stopped once on the first 200 meters but stopped more than I would have liked to on the last 200 meters. By the end my lower back was hurting and I was pretty out of breath, but I'm definitely going to keep working with the sled.

Felt good today, Stephen had to program some different stuff for me since my hand is hurt and I really enjoyed what he programmed for me today. I was really pleased with my 3 rep TNG deadlift, my max is 285 so since I got 265 for 3 reps I would like to try a 1RM deadlift again and see if I can get over 300 pounds. The deadlift/rope climb workout felt great, deadlifts felt nice and light, and the rope climbs felt great! I watched Carl Paoli's videos on rope climb progressions and they really helped a lot, I applied what I learned from the video to the rope climbs today and they felt a lot faster and more efficient. I was really happy with my time on this and my hand felt fine which is good. Happy to workout with no pain today!
