Well, it hurt.  And I definitely slowed down with the pain on the rower.  I'm trying to learn to push through the pain instead of back off.  Thrusters went as planned, 9-9-9, 7-7-7, 8-7, but on the last 9 I did 6/3.  My body just kinda dropped it at 6 but I picked it right back up.  Super sore today!  Quads, tight back, kinda burning right hip.  The rowing and airdyne helped but I tried to roll out my quads and they are just too sore.  Yay for finishing the open!

Power cleans started off feeling pretty good, but the set at 118 tired me out I  think.  Because I squeaked throught that set and then the last two felt heavy and hard.  Deadlifts also were feeling heavy today, seems like I shoulda done more weight but that was what felt right for the day.  Strict press felt solid, 80 was a little slow but not close to failing.  The EMOM was challenging.  KB swings were heavy.   And still ironing out my weird CTB kip.  Did mostly sets of 4 unbroken until round 6 when my grip was fatiguing, then I did 3 and 1.  Thanks!

Snatch complex felt good.  The reps at 83 were not quite as beautiful but they counted.  The B combo was tough.  Was surprise how tired my legs were by each set of box jumps.  The WOD should have been easy but the first round of T2B I had a hard time stringing any together.  Like I forgot how and my right shoulder felt 'pinchy'.  By the second round I had it figured out.  Thanks!

This was a fun one. Mostly satisfied that I didn't fail any of the cleans.  And they actually felt pretty manageable.  I did fail a couple hspu and those were pretty fatigued by the 12s.  But I was still able to do 1-3 at a time.  Fun time. Thanks!

Deadlifting went well, 248 x 2 is a PR.  Back curved a little but Keith said it looked fine.  Power snatch was okay, shoulders were feeling tight but nothing bad.  The DBS/bench combo was fun. That was a challenging weight for the DB snatch.   Harder on my right arm just because the shoulder isn't as solid/stable.  Hollow body rock seemed hard today.  Abs felt tight to begin with too.  The box jumps/row went well, was plently of rest. Thanks!

Snatching felt super good today and light again, totally manageable. Back squat-pull up combo was tough but fun. 155 x 2 was something I'm proud of, improvement. Full depth, a little stuck about halfway up on the second rep. Strict pull ups were fine, I feel like my right shoulder sticks a bit and that the left arm has to do a little more of the work.  WOD was fun. Did the thrusters 14,12,12,6,6. I had planned on 5 sets of 10 but was dumb and did 14. I gotta learn to stick to a plan. My shoulders were tired at the beginning. CTB was interesting. I've been unconsciously doing a half butterfly kip. 'Half' because my legs are doing it but my arms aren't keeping up. And when I try to kip regular it feels forced. I'm kicking myself that I didn't video it for you. Anyway, I did awkward sets of 2.  Burpees, I did 50 unbroken. Thanks!

Deadlifts felt great.  Pretty sure 233x3 is a PR.  Snatching felt light and lots of rest. Was weird to power snatch after working on squat snatching so much.  The PC/bench combo was challenging. The first set of 10 power cleans at 93 felt a little heavy and I got slower than what was real tnG. So I went down in weight. One of our coaches was watching and mentioned how slow and controlled I lower the bar back to the ground even at the lighter weight. So I tried to work on passively lowering the bar and moving faster. This is obviously hard for me because it involves the word 'fast'. Bench felt great. I worked for reps 11 and 12. HB rocks were legit form and tough. Rowing was fine...hard to go all out as usual. Thanks!

Snatch work felt good.  Didn't come close to any fails, feeling lighter.  Back squats however felt heavy, the third set of 125 was rough.  150 x 3, third rep was kinda slow/ugly.  Pull ups felt heavier today too...I started at just 5# and planned to go up.  But at 7.5 the last couple reps were getting a little shy of locking out all the way so I went back down to 5.  I feel heavier this week though, lol, I think I gained 2.5# bodyweight since last week doing these!  The WOD was fun.  I'm glad I read the small print because I had been thinking power cleans which would have been much easier.  But the squat cleans made it tough...I did all singles.  Singles and doubles on the CTB.  Thanks!

Clearly not  a great performance for me...short and sweet.  I have to say though, last year I couldn't do CTB at all so I am getting fitter.  The OHS's were fine.  I did the 1st set of 10 CTB as double and the second as singles and just ran out of time.  I'm sure if I had really hustled I could have squeezed two more in but it is what it is.  It was fun.  Thanks!

I didn't get much sleep the night prior and everything felt heavy.  I really enjoyed the clean pulls but they were tough and I was thinking I should have been going heavier but the weight I did was challenging.  Power clean--push jerk combo was fun.  I love that my form and speed are improving, even if it's still slow, it's feeling better.  I unfortunately ran out of time, poor time management for the day, so I didn't get to do D or the rowing.  I'll try and do it today.  My legs and triceps and low back are sore today.  Can't wait for the open announcement!  Thanks!

Snatching felt great, my catch is improving.  It didn't feel really heavy either.  Back squats were challenging at 125.  Pull ups were fun, I dropped on the last set because I thought they were getting a little shallow.  The wod was fun...because of the rest.  My chest to bar are all over the place.  They all seem to look and feel a little different, I need to get more efficient.  I did singles, doubles, and triples.  Thanks!
