8/22

22-Aug

Overall feeling pretty good. A little sore from the below but not bad. My scores so far this week are a little better than the open, the biggest thing I've noticed is how I've felt afterwards, Like I've been able to recover and do another open workout 1-2days later. And yesterday I hit 5# under my max Snatch 3 hours after doing the workout.  I'm feeling stronger and more fit. My sleep was also pretty good this week, it mad a difference. I slept like 9+ hours Sunday, Monday and Wednesday night. Tuesday and Thursday were only about 6.5 because of the early morning class I coach, but I took a 1-1.5 hour nap Friday and slept 8-9 hours Friday night. And last night I slept almost 10 hours :) Eating has been the same, maybe a little better since the scorching heat has died down and its just hot now not hot like fire lol. Still weighing 165, i haven't dropped any. I range between 165-166. No matter what time of the day. I weighed 2x yesterday morning, post workout and both were 165, this morning i woke up and was 165. I don't even get to lose weight over night haha. Mike loses like 5# sometimes! Oh well. I'm feeling good so not concerned right now.

Open workout 15.3 WB/DU/MU

https://youtu.be/hALd8KnvvCg

2 rounds + 22 wall balls. 2 Reps better than the open. I just went out faster to see what would happen. Figured it was better to take a chance in training and see. Did MU 4/3 WB 20/10/10/10 I think lol Then DU i tripped a few times at the start for some reason then hit 75 in a row and finished with 25. Did 2/2/2/1 on MU then 10/10/10/10/5/5 on WB then DU i did 50/25/25 maybe? Not positive. Then MU i did 2/1/1/1/1/1 and 22 ub on WB.

I felt much better, MU felt better and DU felt way better. I think there's still a little more there. My shoulders just got tired. Breathing was a bit high but not bad, my shoulders were just fatigued at the end.

4:56. Goal was 4:30 which i knew I'd have to push to get, i missed rep 12 and had to take a second to rest. Man my back and grip were tired after this. Legs started to get tired but it was more my grip and back and hips. I think that's a decent time though.

C. Front squat; 3, 3, 3, 3, 3; rest 3 min

175-180-185-190-200x (missed my 3rd rep at 200#, i tried, the weight just didn't move lol)

200 - https://youtu.be/clvHq8qWxHU

I think i sat there for a solid :3 lol. I have faith these legs will get stronger though.

Row sprint 15 seconds @100% effort
rest as needed to full recovery
x10

I got through 5 of these. I just started falling off, I would even rest 5-6 minutes. I started out around 87 calories and then struggled to get 80 on #5. So i called it. My legs were just shot.
