Some annoying neck strain/tension lingering from the weekend's certification explosive burpee bonanza probably cummulative with the bar over burpee workout I did on friday for the team series.  After the workout on friday I knew my neck was annoying and it just has gotten worse.  I have been working and no time to get to the chiro or massage guy.  I need to find someone closer to me and with more open appointments.  I doubt my neck impacted my performance on these workouts at all, they were going to be pretty limited as it was but the workouts definitely didn't make it better!  I should be happy with the 1RM because it's pretty close to my 1RM clean.  The jerk was easy.  I got 150 DL and 1 clean but couldn't clean it the second time.  My power clean is ugly, I jump my feet out like a starfish.  I didn't squat it because I thought I would get stuck in the bottom.  Maybe I should have tried.  Motivated to get stronger.  I wanna be able to clean what I can jerk!
Weighed myself this morning, and am up to 145 from my lowest of 138.  I bring this up because bar mu's sucked!  I did 10 and then just 2 of the 9 for a total of 12.  Failed probably a total of 4-5.  Last year during the team series I did 20 something.  Not sure it matters much the number because I know the form is slightly better this year but still a big chicken wing throwing the left shoulder over first.  Super motivated to fix that.  And motivated to shed some weight.  My neck, lats, and shoulders are pretty tender the next day, mostly the neck.  I just want to take my head off my shoulders, feels too heavy.  So weird to be upper body sore.  A friend has some video of my bar mu’s I’ll add to this later but I’m sure you can imagine the struggle.
Thanks!
