I was so excited to get out of work today and do this workout as stress relief from a kinda frustrating day.  And then...I sat in traffic on the way to the gym.  So I cut my warm up short and tried to move along quickly.  Handstands weren't my best today but I did three different drills and gave it my best.  Rope climbs again were weird coming down.  I think my shoes are just too flimsy...but I need to figure it out.  What is the most efficient way for descending  a rope?  Push press felt heavy this week but it could be that my legs are pretty much dead weight today...sore and sluggish.  Omni pull ups are easy.  The kneeling press was fun...right arm is stronger but if I get the DB out anterior at all my shoulder does pinch, also pinches if I throw too hard at the top, like overextend.  Arc rows were fine.  At this point I got kicked out of the gym because it was late and they were locking up.  Bummer.  It's funny how guilty I feel about not being about to finish!  I do love my burpees...I was going to finish it at hoome but by the time I got home it was late and I was hungry and it seemed silly.  One question, do you want me to put my HRV in the sitapp?  How should I calculate that?  Thanks

PS) legs seem even more sore today!

As usual I really enjoyed the time snatching.  All of these reps felt good.  And I was quite pleased because one of the coaches said my snatch was looking really solid.  Yay!  I knew the B series would be rough because of the lunges mainly.  And it was.  The last set I was having a hard time get up out of the bottom of the lunge on the last 3-4 reps with the right leg forward.  Legs were shaking after.  I can clearly anticipate the impending soreness.  Then Scott saw me doing the C series and said that it would help decrease my soreness from the lunges and how he thought that was smart.  So I'm hoping that is true.  C felt great...work but a bit of stretching too.  I did roll out and stretch after.  Right glute and hamstring insertion felt tight and right hip flexors.  Thanks!

Split jerk series went well.  Great practice for not pushing bar out front.  Everything else went well.  I did all the L-holds in 15-20 second segments.  Swing work is still not great.  Right shoulder hurts periodically and I just feel so uncoordinated...bulky, lol.  Feeling much better health wise.  Glad it was just a cold and didn't turn into anything else.  I guess resting works ;).  Thanks!

Handstand work went really well today.   I had a freestanding hold that was somewhere around 7 seconds which is definitely a record.  Rope work was the same as last week, I did as many legless pulls as I could (2-3) then climbed the rest of the way up.  I taped my shoe and worked on going faster down but that is definitely a work in progress.  I feel a little out of control on the descent as I speed up.  Push press/pull up series went well.  Nothing eventful in D either.  Hands were sore and grip tired on the hanging knee raises.  Burpee box jumps were fun...pleased that I didn't bite it.  Legs were shaky after.  Legs were pretty sore again from yesterday.  Thanks!

Feeling like I may be coming down with a cold but could just be fall allergies.  Snatching- love it.  Thrilled to have hit 93# so many times well.  I went down on one knee on the third rep but still saved it and then repeated the rep for a solid one.  I power snatched the 5th rep and repeated it for a good one too.  The 10th rep is the only one I failed, caught it too far forward and repeated it for a good solid finish.  Front squats again were fine for 3 reps and then rep 4/5 I start to raise my butt up and back first to get out of the squat, dropping my chest.  But I'm fighting it as best I can.  The lunges are so hated.  I did them out in my street and got some neighborhood encouragement which made them better.  To my retired neighbors I guess I look pretty badass 78 pounds or not, which is nice.  Lateral lunges and sumo gm's went well.  And single leg good mornings were really solid.  I did feel my right leg, mistily hip/glute, fatiguing from the front squats on through this workout.  I had to keep stretching the hip flexors on that side too.  No pain though.  Thanks!

Push jerks felt great.  I added weight because it seemed to get lighter.  Incline bench was harder than regular for sure, just felt weird.  The arc rows were tough.  I did both arms together while bent over, hope that was right.  Tricep extensions were harder on the right arm.  It was definitely the limiting factor. On the last set it just could not straighten out on the 10th rep.  Supinated pull ups were fun.  I could do 4-6 unbroken but then had to do doubles/singles.  Swing work was the same issues...trying to get faster/smoother.  L-holds felt okay, just took a bit.  DB side bends were fine.  Thanks!

I think you are trying to kill my hands.  Or make them tougher.  The deadlifts were all about grip and keeping my thumbs from falling off.  Clean pulls felt a little slow today so I stayed at 153.  Snatch grip rdls I could have done more weight leg wise but 63 was all I could hang on to x 10.  KBS were tough on grip too but a little easier on hands.  The snatch series definitely had me out of breath and I accidentally did 13 sets for extra credit I guess.  It was great practice though.  Now I have man hands.  But nothing tore so that is good.  Thanks!
