Traps and neck muscles super sore today...
A series felt great.  I love the German hang stretch.  B is hard and I feel my abs shoulders working and lats sometimes nearly cramp at the insertion on the ribs.  It's satisfying though to feel how much stronger I have gotten on them though.  Push jerks had my arms burning at the end but yet still seemed light even though the last few reps felt wobbly...I focused mostly on form, TnG, and sticking the landing.   Rowing was surprisingly more painful of an exercise than it looks on paper.  At least I was consistent!  Thanks!

My body felt great going in to this workout but these were all very challenging for me.    I definitely felt the DL's right where the hami inserts below my butt and fought to keep good positions.  The hip extension holds we soooo hard and caused cramping in a variety of places...I made it to 20 seconds once on each side the other were closer to 15 and the best I could do.  DB snatch was fun.  The rotational twists were tough!  I did not look like the video, had to slow it down and kept sagging at the hips unintentionally.  The rest went fine...I'm sure I will feel my hami's tomorrow.  Thanks!

kipping work, banded ice cream makers, weighted strict muscle ups with the ring thing, butterfly work

Squats felt good...130 x 5 FS was heavy but I was able to keep good form.  Today was skill day and I wanted to work on my kip/swing while some of the coaches were available to give tips.  The feedback I received was that I lose my hollow body, break at the hip, and on CTB I arch my upper back to push my chest to the bar.  I tried some swings and push backs with a pull to the hip but either I am not strong enough in the lats or just not coordinated enough to do that and keep a hollow body.  I just wanna throw my hips up.  I did some weighted strict muscle ups with the harness and worked up to a set of 3 with 15#'s.  Thanks!

Snatch pulls felt good today...I feel like I could get under that weight.  I attached some videos of the B series and E to be sure I'm doing what you intend.  The hip thrusts made my right hami feel like it wanted to cramp but it never did (thankfully).  The good  morning OH rotations were super hard for me!  It was hard not to round my back and after the first set I did feel my low back muscles lit up.  C and D went well.  E just felt weird and even though I was trying to throw it hard it never seem to hit the wall with much force!  Thanks!

Super happy to make some progress on my back squat.  Legs had no problem with it but my back did curve on the way up.  FS felt heavy after all the back squats.  I was happy to do a few sets of 20 du's in the wod and I am breathing better during them, which takes a lot of focus for me.  The front squats in the wod had my legs burning.  Writing this the next day and my legs are pretty sore.  Thanks!
