A. Muscle Snatch – I know I am not doing this right….it feels like shit. Gotta get some more input and practice with this lift. Worked up to 80# and it wasn’t pretty. B. Hang Snatch + Snatch – The hang snatch alone did not go well last week so I decided to keep the percentages 75%-85% to really focus on the pull and confidence under the bar. SUCCESS! No misses! 🙂 C.Unsupported Seated Strict Press – Ouch, strict press why do you hate me do much? Stayed at 70# the whole 5×4 and it actually felt better towards the… Read more »

Done Primary conditioning: A. 8:47 Used 75# the shoulder to overhead were super speedy, but my arms and lats were trashed from yesterday’s pull ups so that slowed my toes to bar down pretty dramatically B.

Sooooooooo I presume your quad is better…”Another week or two as long as I don’t push it!” In real money does that mean a day? 🙂

Ha!! Well first of all I have a REALLY hard time “taking it easy” but I try. It’s weird what hurts it and what doesn’t! Snatching felt pretty good so I went with it. Lunges and any squats above 60-65% are probably a no go for another week or so. And weirdly locking my knee out on the Chinese planks hurt worse than anything! We’ll see how today goes 🙂

AM: gymnastics class PM: Lifting – A. Worked up to 125# B. 145/155/165/175. Missed at 175 full snatch on the last set. All of these felt heavy… Conditioning – A. 3:26 B. Tried and stopped C. 16:34 — used an 80# barbell in each hand and spent probably 10 of the 16 minutes failing attempts at balancing the barbells enough to be able to walk with them Still feeling weak and tired. Having trouble with anything that requires speed and explosiveness. Back squats went just fine yesterday, but all Olympic lifts I find really exhausting and am missing at weights… Read more »

Muscle up wod went to shit fast don’t know time. Felt heavy af and couldn’t get over the rings. Muscle ups are easy for me. So I guess it was because I was feeling heavy and did this at 6 pm trying to dodge class. Never wod this late. My body is just done for the day.

Did not do farmers carry and pu. Body is past done. Going home to recover and hit tmrw hard!
