Super happy I could even still do bar muscle ups since it has been so long.  I had 4 minutes and 2 seconds to do them.  Only failed 2, so got 5/7.  The first one was pretty clean but the rest were pretty bad chicken wings.  I practiced them later on the edge of the pool.  It’s my elbow that wants to flare out.  I need to work on that.  Swimming felt great after.  Marc tossed me around under water some too.  Thanks!

I was pumped to workout today and then power snatching kicked my ass.  I had an idea in my head that I wanted to do this complex beautifully at 105.  And then I fell apart at 100.  Just on the power snatch.  The OHS felt okay, but honestly they should have felt lighter considering the percentage of my max.  It's funny how different things feel depending on the day or what they are combined with.  Power snatch has never been a great movement for me.  I added all the videos just to give you and updated look and my lifting and positions.  Back squats went pretty well.  The DLs definitely challenged my thumbs and had my low back muscles tired by the end.  Hami's are a little sore the next day.  WOD was good.  S2O definitely dropped off, felt way harder, by the 4th round.  Thanks!

Done


So glad you programmed this in because when I saw the workout I really wanted a crack at it.  Strict hspu's are a strength of mine I think.  I wish I could have found a faster pace on the step ups but just kinda plugged along feeling slow.  I was at 5:45 ish when I finished the step ups.  I did a couple sets of 5 on the hspus and then 3's until the last few were doubles.  Felt great.  Bike sprints were tough.  Anytime anything says 100% it's tough for me.  I gave my all though.  Thanks!

Cross country skiing x2 hours

It was sunny and gorgeous day today and probably more around 30 degrees, which actually felt hot once I got going.  Way better conditions for my equipment.  I felt amazing, way more efficient on the trail and much faster pace than the other day.  Really worked up a sweat and an appetite!  This is such a great total body workout.  Thanks!

Workout:

4 hours snow mobile tour

I know this wouldn't seem like exercise but it kinda was.  Took a lot of upper body strength to maintain control over a bumpy trail.  I was even kinda in and out of a squat a lot of the time.  Shoulders and elbows and wrists were sore the next day.  Absolutely a blast though!  And the weather cleared for us so we got sun and beautiful vistas.  Thanks!

My cold is finally pretty much gone.  This was tough skiing.  Many more hills and long climbs than we have closer to home.  My skis weren't sticking to the snow very well either because it was so cold and snowing.  It was reallllly cold.  Great exercise and challenging/frustrating conditions.  But very beautiful and had a great time.  Was tired and starving after.  Thanks!
