Tackling this workout took some courage, some tough things in this one.  My shoulders felt tight from yesterday.  Snatching went well, 110 seems to always be a bad weight for me.  I could probably have pushed it time wise quite a bit more on the clean and jerks but was more in survival mode.  The great thing is they all felt solid and at the pace I chose I was able to maintain good tension.  I could tell my shoulders were a little off during the OHS, just kinda tight, they felt better by the last set.  I was anxious about the thrusters, seemed ominous...I haven't done a lot of heavy thrusters and 50 at 105# seemed like quite a new experience.  I'm actually pretty proud of completing them and sticking with sets of 5 nearly the whole way.  Writing this the next day and my shoulders are pretty darn sore.  The row/jump was uneventful.  Thanks!

Felt a little heavy on the pull ups.  The last 2 muscle ups weren't as slow as the rest.  AMRAP was challenging.  I did all the pull ups 3/2/2/2/1 and all the hspu's unbroken.  I was definitely hungry after.  Thanks!

Pretty funny that you picked two 15 minute amraps for me right before this open workout was announced.  You always have an uncanny since of what is coming it seems.  At least I had a good since of what 15 minutes would feel like.  Admittedly a tad tired in the legs starting this one out but not bad.  It was really a matter of trying to keep giving full effort and not pace too much.  I did all the WBs unbroken which was a goal of mine.  I had to do it outside because my WB target is outside and it was cold!  Couldn't feel my fingers the whole time which made catching the WB a bit weird.  Nothing too dramatic to say, just felt like exercise.  Swim felt great after.  I figured out that if I hold my breath in my lungs and don't slowly let it out I can make it much farther without a breath.  I suppose I should have known that but I still find the habit of exhaling while swimming hard to break.  I chose to swim with the paddles and no legs to try and mimic paddling on the surfboard and work on shoulder strength in that metric since my arms got tired paddling last time I was out in the ocean.  Seemed close to the same feeling and 300m was about where my right shoulder especially was getting tired.  Thanks!

I had a work meeting I had to go to after work last night so I had to do this workout friday and take thursday off.  Work has been a pain lately.  Front squats felt great.  Was feeling some fatigue by the last set.  140 was easy enough on the C and J but legs didn't have much more in them.  The amraps were great challenges!  Both tougher than they look on paper.  It was the bike that hurt the most.  Quads were burning.  I had to really focus to make each box jump.  Thanks!

This was a great focused workout.  L-sits were really hard because my quads would cramp after about 7 seconds.  Doing them with only one leg extended helped.  CTB were the hardest in the wod.  Thanks!

Moved my outdoor day around d/t weather and work schedule.  Soreness was much better today, still kinda sore quads though.  Good to work with the barbell.  Not much to say on any of this.  Was a great workout, legs are globally sore the next day.  Thanks!

Daily score: 6 (sore legs, mostly quads)

Workout:

Breakup/Makeup WOD

push press 85#
burpees

Rest 10 mins

6 alternating rounds with a partner:
5 squat cleans 105#
10 strict pull ups
200m row

We made it through 8 minutes on the 'death by' and the second part took around 15 minutes.  I really slowed down on the pull ups and had to do singles but everything else went pretty smoothly.  I've been super sore all weekend, mostly quads.  Good to be back at it though!  Thanks!
