Just a busy day at work and body feeling kinda exhausted.  Stayed light on the snatches because everything felt heavy.  Great technique practice though.  Cool thing was that the 150# back squats x3 didn't feel that heavy, even on a low feeling day.  So cool to feel even a little more confident squatting heavier weights.  I just feel a little more 'sturdy'...less 'floppy'.  The overhead split squats were a fun challenge, honestly keeping the bar overhead wasn't that hard, it was more just leg fatigue.  Everything else went well.  Thanks!

I still have some arm soreness from yesterday.  Skipped my rest day because I’m feeling good and wanna fit in that hero wod this week.  ‘A’ series went well.  HS shoulder taps I can only do well wall facing.  The supinated pull ups pumped up my forearms.  Trap raises I had to stay light on because my low back and neck get tired.  Burpees were good.  Thanks!

CTB isometrics felt better than last time we did them.  It's still a challenge and weak position for me.  It's approximating the bar to my chest more than the height that is hard.  Everything else went well.  Thanks!

What a great thing to PR my front squat again.  I'm not just happy about more weight, I also feel like I'm hitting better positions and holding up or recovery better too.  Squat clean series lit up my low back muscles.  Not in a bad way, they were just fatigued after the front squats and I really had to fight to keep tension in the catch.  That was tough.  This whole workout was tough, satisfying.  The C series was a legit challenge and I'm feeling it the next day.  The bike sprints took grit, love it.  I swam after this and I think that help workout what would have been more soreness/stiffness.  Swimming went well.  I really do have an innate fear of holding my breath under water, so glad to be working on it and facing it.  Never know, could save my life one day!  ;).  Thanks!

Best part of this workout was the weighted pull up, I was shocked I could do 40#.  It was a little questionable on height so I didn't try more weight.  37.5 was definitely chin over bar.  My left shoulder seemed to get stuck today on the strict press.  That is usually my good side.  No pain, just didn't track well.  I have done 100 before.  Strict pull ups felt great.  Strist hspu's felt great.  Butterfly was smooth until reps 11 and 12.  Quite happy with 21 kipping hspu's, kinda fun to try.  Hanging L-hold was probably the most painful of everything.  By the dips I could feel some fatigue.  Thanks!

I went cross country skiing for the first time yesterday, only about 90 minutes of it.  I didn't think I was sore from it until I worked out today.  Thruster series was tough work with the short rest, a fun gritty challenge.  Deadlifts were also challenging, mostly I felt a new muscle that I think must have been sore from skiing, my QL I think.  Kinda lateral toward the back right around my waist.  Cool to work new things.  Single leg j ropes were easy.  Pistols with the long hold in the bottom were hard but doable.  I was quite happy I could do them.  WOD was a satisfying burn.  Gave it my all.  Thanks!
