Power snatch clusters felt pretty good...I do tend to raise my hips and use my low back more than I do when I squat snatch...was trying to fix it.  Rack pulls were new, I had no idea how much weight to do.  Thought it was cool to get up to 290.  Felt it mostly in the low back I think.  The circuit was good.  Single leg RDLs are definitely harder to balance, etc on the right.  Thanks!

It was pretty toasty in the gym today.  Warmed up with some brief handstand/ shoulder stand work.  Got some good tips from the yogi guy at the gym.  I got kinda light headed during the press cluster emom.  I had to squat between sets.  I remember last week burning out in this by starting too heavy and that was only 10 mins.  This was cardio at 78# x 12 min.  I felt better for the rest of the workout. The bench press is definitely more wobbly/challenging on the right.  And I cheated on the L-holds.  After the first 2 I rested longer than 40 seconds because I really didn't think it would happen before then.  But I did make 20 seconds unbroken for all.  Thanks!

Snatching just felt great today.  So happy about the progress.  I didn't fail any reps.  My elbows are still a little shaky at 98 as you can see in the video but sooooo much improved. And not a problem at 93.  OHS felt solid too.  Split squats good. The side planks are still hard on shoulder stability and a little harder on the right.  But I made it through them all.  AD was fun as always.  Very hot again today too.  Thanks!

This week got kinda crazy and I had to move my workouts around a day.  I got a last minute invite to a concert Wednesday night and was out until 1am.  Then worked late Thursday.  Of course, I didn't really feel super tired until Friday (this workout).  The split jerks just felt really heavy and hard.  When I know most days I have another 10#'s in me. The push press and FLR felt good.  I rowed perfectly paced splits on all the 250's for the 1k.  Was out of breath on the DU's and did sets of 15. But no trip ups.  Burpee box jumps just felt like they took forever.  It was hot too so it was my first day this year feeling really I overheated.  Kinda head achy and sweaty the rest of the evening.  Thanks!

C4. Bent knee hollow body hold; 30 sec x4; rest 3 min

Clean complex felt much better now.  Trying to focus on full extension and getting under without jumping.  Felt like I made some progress on the high hang.  Felt easier with more weight this week.  Deficit deadlifts are just so uncomfortable.  The 190 felt ugly so I went back down to 185.  The two inches make a big difference in the tension in the hamstrings and low back.  The circuit went well other than every time I got off the GHD I nearly passed out.  Just super light headed after that.  All the blood in my legs?  Thanks!

Just having a rough day.  Body is fine other than bad diet and lack of sleep.  Working on it.  The press complex just got tough with little rest.  The jerks were no problem but the 3 push press got difficult.  Strict pull ups were interesting.  I did a set of 5 unbroken and some sets of 2-4 but then my arms took awhile to recover so I tried just singles, either way I ended up with about the same # of reps.  DB bench was fun.  Right shoulder is a weakness, poor stability I think.  DB rows felt good, a new movement for me.  Single arm planks were hard on the shoulder joints again, worse on the right.  Burpees were no problem, kept about the same pace the whole time, no stopping.  thanks!

restorative aerial yoga


This was fine and good stretching and very meditative.  I just was not feeling like being in my own head and may have done better with something like boxing or sword fighting.
