All 1 session this evening. Last day of school with students, so summer break is about here.

1A- 305. Felt smooth. Just wanted to get over 300# for today.
1B- 266. Post injury PR. All-time is 291 but no heavy lifting in 3 months prior to joining this.
1C- 316. See snatch notes.

2A- did front squat X 4 reps @ 275 E2MOM for 12 minutes. Got hurt squatting during the open so taking it slow and building the volume.
2B- 260 on the bar + purple rogue band
2C- 95, 105, 115.
2D- 6:26 (w/ 50# Dumbbells. No 55s)

OHS close grip up to 170. That’s a pr for close grip. As I suck at ohs and even worse at close grip.

Snatched up to 140

Clean and jerked up to 190

Squats were bad..
245/245×3/240/240×3/235×3..it was all just a mess honestly. Need to get back to where I’m feeling good with back squats!!! Today’s strength just wasn’t there are any portion.

Metcon done RX

7:24. Very happy with this!

Yes I like it! This grip feels so much more stable so I’m excited to work with this grip. Going to try and stick with the close grip from now on.

Solid consistency! That hip bang got you on the last rep and nocked the bar outfront. Focus on vertical hips rather than bringing your hips to the bar.

Session 1:
A: 225 ohs, I’ve hit 240 for a double so it’s not a PR but it’s a start.
B: 200 snatch, 215 is my PR.
C: 225 clean and jerk, 260 is my PR.

I’m not disappointed or anyting, I would love to be hitting bigger numbers but I know I just got back into training last week after a long time out of it and hitting these numbers today made me happy, I’m doing my best to enjoy the process and get back on the road to 2017 like we talked about back in January Tino!

Session 1:
A: 275# PR on close grip.
B- % based off 250. Hit 275# for a 13# PR!!!!! When I started this program back in January my max snatch was 235#. You guys rock!!!!
C- based off 315# hit 325# and went for 335# cleaned easy for a 3# PR and and missed the jerk. But I’ll get it next time!!!
I seriously can’t thank you coaches enough. The programming and your book has helped me grow so much. Set goals and crush them!!
