So happy with my progress on dead lifts.  Felt strong.  I did rip my right palm that was hanging on by a thread after the ttb/ctb yesterday, but I'll live.  Funny about the wod, the snatches seemed harder than the thrusters!  Was a good burn, kinda grippy.  Everything else was great!  Thanks!

Struggled with the bar mu's.  It's been awhile and I felt the struggle.  Mostly with timing I think.  I did some hips to bar and then band mu's.  I had to use a thicker band than I was last time I was working them.  My timing felt terrible on CTB in the amraps today too.  I kept getting way behind the bar versus up to it, same thing I was doing with the mu's.  A work in progress.  Thanks!

So happy to get back in the gym today.  Great workout.  I felt the weakness in my left hip doing pistols right out of the gate.  I did warm up but maybe not enough.  I do think my main ability to do pistols is d/t bouncing out of the bottom.  The left hip struggles if I don't time it right.  I did do both sets of 16 unbroken though.  Split the lunges into 25'.  Snatching felt great!  Love the glute hip series.  Thanks!

Great day for static HS holds but struggled more with the turns while walking.  Hip to rings was much better this week, can do 4 in a row pretty well, amplitude falls off on the 5th.  Dip numbers went up!  Everything else was a great challenge and I gave my all.  Loving my gym time and feel like I'm making progress.  Thanks!

Happy with how the deadlifts felt and being just muscle sore the day after.  Felt stronger and more confident this week.  Step ups were hard!  Especially the last 6 or so, grip was an issue.  WOD was a good steady slog.  I tried to do good form on the snatches versus just being sloppy to be fast, was great practice at keeping tension while out of breath.  Thanks!

So much going on but feeling very settled and happy and lucky and enjoying all the progress being made.  Sometimes I sleep like a baby and sometimes my brain is too buzzed as was the case last night.  Felt so good to carve out this time for myself to workout today though.  WOD was great.  The lunges were hard but I did them all unbroken, my du's got better as I went.  Great snatch practice.  I'm finding developing a more knee out wider base in my squat is really helping my stability in the bottom and making my portions cleaner while snatching even in the pull.  The leg whips were still pretty hard to keep low back in line.  I split them into 5 and 5 and kept really tight.  It's harder with the left foot on the floor, right up (the left hip seems more unstable).  A work in progress. Thanks!
