I don't know what is going on with my split jerk.  I feel like I should be hitting 10 more pounds.  The only thing I can think of is that the blocks are messing with me.   I hit them on my dip when they were too high but then I lowered them.  I don't know...not trying to make excuses...this movement has just seemed 'off' of late.  I know I'm not dropping as far as I should either.  I did seem to fix that on the reps at 118 though.  Still love the KB press.  I tried to go up to 26# because there are no KBs in between but I couldn't control it.  I'll take my 20# kb to the gym next time.  Bench is always good but I could feel my arms getting fatigued toward the end.  The wod:  I cannot believe how long the wbs took me!  I did sets of 15 but did not realize I took that long.  I was talking to Scott about wbs after and he watched me do some and gave me some great tips!  Apparently, big surprise,  I'm doing to slow of a controlled eccentric and really dropping the ball all the way to my chest and throwing from there.  He recommended catching and throwing from a position with my elbows tucked in in front off my chest and already halfway extended to save a bit on ROM.  If that makes sense.  Anyway,  I do think it will help me not expend quite so much energy.  Burpees were fine, unbroken.  First set of 5 OHS was wobbly.  Then I did 6 solid.  Then 7 solid.  Then I had 8 left and only made it to 7.  My right shoulder got wobbly and I dropped it :(.  Then I tried to snatch it, which didn't happen so I cleaned it, racked it and then took it from the rack and overhead squatted it...what a waste of time...learning, should have just rested it on my back instead of pushing to where I dropped it.  Thanks!
