I felt a little tired and run down today, maybe getting a cold.  But this workout felt great and was fun.  Really nothing specific to say...the eccentric pull ups fatigued d/t the short rest.  Thanks!

Snatching felt great but front squat sucked.  I wanted 15 more #'s than that :(.  But for some reason, that was all I had.  Everything else went well.  My legs did cramp some on the shortened hamstring activation holds, but not every time.  Thanks!

I dropped in to Scott's gym for this workout since I had the day off and miss the place/people.  Was fun :).  Split jerks just felt great... love them and love how strong they make me feel.  It's just a good movement for my psyche.  DB strict press was tough.  Eccentric MU's were fun with the weight...made sense once I started doing them.  Scott's 'ring thing' is his own creation and a little different than the one at CFOC.  I found it slightly more challenging and did 3 sets of 4 reps on the series of 12's.  Those CARS were good, scapular ones are hard to get my brain to do... I think they will get better with practice.  Thanks!

Swimming went fine other than I just was having a low energy day.  Damn coming back to real life.  I like the shorter sprints better because I can control my breathing for that distance and actually go 100%.  Thanks!

Daily score: 10 (if today isn't a 10 i don't know what is)

Workout:

A). Work to a 3 rep max banded dl (band above bar on rig, light band he said should reduce weight off ground by about 10%)

130kg (286#) x 3

140kg (308#) x 1

B).  20 rep back squat

90# x 20

+
4 rounds:

10 banded kneeling hip extensions
10 heavy, hip only, KBS (70)
10 per leg db split squats
50' sled push (with 10kg plate)

This was not for time...so I don't know how long it took


Waking up without an alarm, working out with fun people, going to brunch, laying by the pool until I get picked up to go on a boat and wake board...well, it's a pretty epic day.  And...it may have been banded but I dead lifted over 300#! Fun.  Everything felt good.  I could have done more weight on the squats but we ran outta time.  So glad I joined class, it was good for my psyche.  Thanks!

I was pumped tonight and it was a fun crowd at the gym.  Everything felt good.  I realize the strict press said 8-10, not 7...but I overshot based on my mood and didn't anticipate how my arms were fatiguing.  MU's are getting pretty easy on the 'ring thing' but really fun.  Stretches x 2 took forever but I do think they are keeping my shoulders healthy so I will not complain.  Whatever it takes to get that MU Max!  Looking forward to dropping in somewhere fun in Scottsdale.  Any suggestions? Thanks!
