Eeeeeesh. Today wasn't great. Everything felt tough today. I was hoping to do the rope climb workout in around 10:00, I finished with the climbs around 7:30 but the handstand walk took me way longer than I thought it would. I'm still struggling with doing HS walk when my arms are tired. My forearms were blown up from the rope climbs so it was tough to walk on my hands. I would only make it about 7 meters at a time and then have to stop because my arms felt like they weighed a ton. The second piece wasn't great either. Thrusters were relatively easy, unbroken the first round then 6/4 on rounds 2 and 3 although I'm not sure why I broke them up, I should have done them unbroken. The cleans shocked me. Going into the workout I thought I would be able to do them in sets of 5, but I was way off. I did the first 2 and then they were all singles after that. I think I actually said out loud "what the fuck?". I know I was fatigued from the first piece but I still thought I would have been able to touch and go some of them. Overall throughout both pieces the main problem was muscle fatigue. I was never really breathing that hard, except for at the very end of the second piece. My arms were sore from the rope climbs and my legs were also sore for some reason. I just feel like I didn't do very well today.

Awesome day of training! I was really happy with my muscle up PR, the first set of 6 felt really easy. I was able to string 6 together the second round but the last two reps were pretty tough. I decided to start breaking them up 4/2 because I knew I wouldn't be able to string together 6 every time. All the muscle ups felt really good today, very happy with the progress on these. I'm getting a lot better at doing muscle ups under fatigue, especially near the end of a workout when I'm breathing pretty heavy. I was happy I got a week off from prowler sprints, I would much rather do row sprints. They weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I actually sort of miss row sprint Wednesdays in a weird way.

Pretty happy with my training today. I wasn't sure how it would go since I hadn't worked out in a week but I think taking a week off was actually good. A lot of the soreness I was having in my forearms/wrist is gone and the pain in my butt/lower back is also gone as well. The squat cleans felt really fast and light.  My butterfly CTB pull ups are definitely getting easier, and HSPU were pretty fast and easy. Row sprints aren't as fast as they used to be. Overall a solid day of training. Glad to be back in the gym.
