I hosted a Halloween party Saturday night so shifted rest days to prepare and clean up and recover. Felt good today. Cleans felt light but was good to just work on technique. Squats...I don't like squatting...I know that's heresy. But man, they are just painful. And I never feel strong at them. If CrossFit were just squats I would still be a runner. Anyway, did the best I could. Felt like it took a lot of courage, lol. On the 4th set I tried 128 and had to dump the bar halfway up on the 4th rep of the front squats. So I went down in weight and repeated the set. The C series went fine. 25# DBS required less the slow and controlled so I stayed at 20#. The rdls on the right leg definitely accentuate the tight spot in my right glute/hip. I'm sure Wednesday I will be hobbling around from this one. Thanks!
PS) bummer about Denver's camp :(. I will have to pick one for next year. I guess I'll just have to find something else fun to do with that time and ticket, it'll be hard to be too upset if I find myself on a beach somewhere :).

Jerks felt sluggish tonight. Mostly in the legs. But I felt solid in the OH hold. Should have started heavier. HSPU and ring rows felt good. HSPUs seemed stronger than last week...easier. WOD was fun...one of the guys from the gym joined me, made it go faster and pushed harder. But the exciting part is that the TTB didn't hurt! Really really satisfying. I was thinking I was going to have to do singles but was able to do triples with no discomfort. Now I just have to build up to stamina to string them together again....it's been a long time. And they were way harder as I got more out of breath. The rest went fine. Serratus slides seemed easy...so maybe not doing them right? Followed a CF YouTube video. I had to skip the AD cool down because I was out of time. Thanks!

Legs felt mostly recovered today. Snatching was fun...kinda stoked I did this complex at 88#. Last year that was a heavy squat snatch single. For some reason today I felt wobbly in my catch...in the arms...as you can see in the video. Everything else felt good. Am I looking faster?! I like to think so ;). Clean pulls felt snappy at 133 so I stayed there and worked on form and getting the bar to float. The WOD: the hard part were the snatches and mostly do to grip. I did the first and second round unbroken on the kbs and snatches but had to break up the snatches on the third round into 8/7. My left hand grip slipped. I almost lost it at the end of round 2 as well...I did lose hook grip on the left. Double unders were great today and it felt really nice to get outside. I was definitely breathing heavy. By the good mornings my right hami had tightened up pretty bad so I did them with just the bar and tried to stretch it out, it just doesn't move as smooth as the left. Sorenson holds felt good. I spent mobility time working on pancake, hamstring stretches and rolling legs everywhere. Thanks!

I gave today a 6 because my legs are still sore from Sunday. Yesterday they were really sore and I took a rest day. I seem to get most sore 36-48 hours after. Mostly quads but butt too. Still sore quads today but I needed to move and blow off steam. Workout was perfect for both. By the 8,9,10 minutes I was winded and each time I got of the rower legs were shaky. All went well though. Thanks!

AD: didn't keep track, just let it run
Just couldn't turn my worried mind off last night. And worked out this morning before work since I had a later shift...so my legs were tight and kinda sore but now this afternoon they are really sore! So I guess maybe it was good to do this workout before the soreness built. HSPU negatives weren't too hard but kinda irritating on the elbows, nothing bad though. I did sets of 5. Pull ups went fine, fatigued after 3rd to 4th set a bit. I love the barbell carries, fun to practice that stability. Swing work went okay, just working on changing directions quickly, used rings some. Burpee box jumps were fine then quads just burned on the AD. Survived though. Thanks!

Cleans felt good...coming up from the bottom of the squat is still the hard part, everything else feels like it is right. Front squat series was a serious burner. Legs were shaking my the end. I know the numbers aren't super heavy but they were for me. I did feel my back fatigue a bit, both lower and upper. By the C series my legs were wobbly and the 12 steps over a 20 inch box were shaky by the end. Snatch grip RDLs felt good...a good stretch and good balance work. Oh, my glutes were on fire too. I spent at least 20 mins doing mobility/stretching after in a effort to prevent being crippled tomorrow. Then I took my dog for a long walk. So here's hoping! Feeling good and grateful for my progress however slow. Loving the process. Thanks!

airdyne 15 min easy cool down
jogged for 15 mins
This was a fun time. Lots of things I enjoy. I did it at home d/t work/time constraints and that worked out well. The only thing is, I don't own an airdyne bike (and I never will ;)), so I went for a lovely jog at sunset instead. The split jerk series was fun and great practice. I feel like I'm doing much better at lowering the bar into the proper 'go' position. I really wish I had started heavier though...the 113 sets were hard but I could have done more. Pike push ups were good, some elbow tension but nothing bad. Ring rows were a little tedious that way but I made sure they were all perfect. I felt good about swing work today, I feel like my right shoulder is 'gliding' better if that makes sense. The amrap seem long around the 7 minute mark but then it flew by. I was surprised how much harder strict pull ups were when out of breath...duh. But I pretty much never stopped moving in this one. Steady, as usual. Y raises were hard! I had to go so light and focus on not getting all tense in my neck. Reminded me of how hard the reverse flies were for me. Powell raises were cool but also not able to do much weight. Jog felt wonderful as it was a beautiful night and meant I was not on the AD bike ;). Thanks!
