I had a stressful day and had a lot of aggression to burn off during this workout.  It really felt great.  Exactly what I needed today.  I was super focused and grateful to be moving.  185 x 2 was a great confidence booster, second rep was definitely max effort.  By the third set of the front squats my chicken legs were shaking.  WOD was harder than I expected but good.  Thanks!  See you soon!

Felt like my anterior shoulders and biceps were tight/sore going in to this.  WOD was fun, been awhile since I've done DB power snatch, I got faster as I went.  CTB was terrible today, what a frustrating skill for me.  The B series was tough, the last 2 eccentric MU's were pretty funny, not very 'slow'.  Shoulders were shot by the time I got to the hspu's.  Thanks!

Body felt way better today than yesterday.  I had a really nice long static HS hold in warm-up.  Tripped up a bunch on the first set of DU's, not sure why, could have been too close to the fan or a pleat in the mats, oh well.  Managed the cleans unbroken but grip was nearly gone by rep 20.  Third set of DU's was my fastest.  Fun wod.  So good to have DU's going better.  Zero calf/leg issues.  Thanks!

mobility work 20-30 min

10 mins active recovery on airdyne then 30 mins mobility, mostly hips 

I warmed up well but at the end of my warm up I usually do some HS holds and a couple HS walks.  I couldn’t even kick up because it just didn’t feel safe to do anything dynamic with as tight as my hamstrings were and how sketchy my hips felt.  Back squats felt okay at 125, heavier than it should but fine.  So I did 145.   But then I peed a little on the first rep of 145!  That has never happened and I was not impressed.  I guess maybe my nervous system is fried.  I finished the squats and called it good.  Rode the bike for 10 mins to be good and warm to mobilize.  Really worked on my hips, glutes, hami’s.  Hip discomfort feels like what I imagine a 90 year old grandma’s arthritis feels like.  Other than tight hami’s most of my discomfort is hip joint pain, not muscle soreness, worse on the right as usual.  The same pain that eventually escalated and involved my low back and convinced me to quit running marathons.  This is not near that level, just a hint.  Taking a nap, pool time and then some stand up paddle boarding at the river later.  Should be back on track tomorrow, injury free.  Today just felt like a risk to push it.  Thanks!

This was kinda crazy, I'll admit.  My day started yesterday prior to going for a mountain bike ride, I did take a brief nap in the afternoon before going to work the night shift.  I had jury duty for this day and was hoping they wouldn't call my number but of course, they did.  And even worse, I was picked to sit on a case. So I rode, worked all night, and went right to jury duty from 8-6p.  Then I hit the track.  It was also 95 degrees.  But I needed to move after being cooped up all day.  I just wasn't entirely running on all cylinders mentally.  So...I ran an extra 3 laps (.75 mile) on accident!  Totally stupid.  My watch was counting in meters and for some reason even though I knew I had completeed the 12th lap I thought I need the meters to equal something beyond what they said.  Just plain stupidity.  The splits for the 3 miles are correct though, I hit a split marker every 4 laps.  And really that is quite possibly the fastest 3 miles I have ever run.  I was basically drunk tired running so it didn't even hurt that bad.  I was hungry after and my sister was on her way over so I had to rush stretching and hurry home.  That was a mistake.  I'm sore the next day but manageable.  I knew it was stupid not to mobilize more but I was spent.  I may or may not workout today.  I'm gonna warm up and see how things feel.  Thanks!

Funny how some days go like this.  These are the days that make the good days feel good.  I just felt heavy and everything was a little harder than usual.  Started in the warm up with HS hold being a mess.  I'm okay with it though.  It's a reminder to focus on eating and hydrating and sleeping better.  I really don't know what to do about the CTB other than to keep trying.  Muscle up work was productive.  I must say the wod went pretty well, I was happy with how easy the S2O was.  I did break down to quick singles on the last 10 TTB.  Thanks!

That WOD was super fun.  I did the first 12 strict hspu's unbroken.  By the end of the kipping hspu's they were getting tired, last rep was a lot of effort but the smallest set I did was splitting the 9 into 5/4.  The 205# DL felt awful heavy.  I did 4/4/4, 5/4, 6 on it.  I managed to do the HS walking in 15/10 each time with a few no rep failures short of 10 feet but all in all not terrible and way better that a month ago.  Snatch balance was great practice.  The 85#'s did get tiring toward the last few minutes just in my delts after all the handstands.  Lunges are never my favorite but happy I had the courage to go up in weight this week.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  My right glute is pretty fired up the next day however but could also be d/t the driving home from vacation.  My glute/low back doesn't like driving long distances.   I'll work on it tonight. Thanks!

PS)  last day of vacation we did a 27 mile epic mountain bike ride.  My body held up so well, very little soreness/fatigue.

Had an amazing ride this morning.  Gorgeous scenery, even the drive.  Pretty surprised I was able to do 3 pull ups with 26#’s.  That was cool.  The ‘D’ series took a lot of grit.  I am feeling improvement on the HS walking.  Sticking to 10 foot chunks and not much rest seems most successful.   Thanks!

Super happy to hit 145x2 on the OHS.  You can see my elbows trying real hard to stay strong, it felt good though. Back squats felt heavy at 145 so I stayed there.  The wod intimidated me but went really well.  Thrusters always make me nervous because it’s so easy for me to redline with them.  I felt I paced this just right though.  That last set of 9 unbroken was every bit of effort I had.   Thanks!

I didn't drink much poison the night before but I did host a party and between that and being up until 1a, I felt a little slow.  I LOVE the 4th of July though so no complaints.  You are a smart man, this was exactly what I needed.  It hurt.  I was a pool of sweat by the end.  The clean and jerks were the hard part in the first one, I did all singles and it was the squat part that was the most challenging.  Just gaining the tension while out of breath is where I feel the challenge.  I did all the snatches unbroken, the TTB all in 4's until the last round when I had to do 4/4/2/2.  Thanks!

Butterfly was just okay today, I'll keep trying trying trying.  The 'C' series felt way better than last week.  I was alone in the gym and able to focus more.  Double unders are feeling amazing, such progress, thank you.  HS walk was better, less flailing.  Still so so hard to breath and walk.  On the 4th round I actually made it 10 feet on my first kick up after just the 15 second rest.  All the other rounds took a few tries until I caught my breath.  Such good practice.  D series was fun.  Thanks and happy 4th of July!!!!!

I rode pretty hard downhill yesterday and things are just strangely and randomly tight and sore in my legs, glutes, back, and even my elbows.  I ride downhill with my left leg forward and right back so it always creates lopsided tension.  It's all fine, learning how to stretch and mobilize more effectively.  The thing with heavy OHS is I have to rev up some aggression.  I tried but I did note I wasn't able to get 100% there.  Hence the drop at 130 on the last rep.  Next time.  Back squats were empowering.  I haven't squatted that much weight cummulatively ever.  My right glute/hip area was lit up after so I didn't go crazy on the weight on the DLs just to be safe.  I mobilized it after this workout and it's not too bad the next day.  D series and rowing went well, tough stuff.  Thanks!
