Day-

A1. 15 Chest to Bar Pull ups AFAP x4 Rest 1 minute

:17, :17, :18, :17

A2. 15 Burpees AFAP x4 Rest 2 minutes x4

:27, :25, :25, :25

Out of breath after burpees but no issues besides that. 

+
Row 500M @ 85% rest 2mn
x8

1:47, 1:46, 1:47, 1:47, 1:46, 1:46, 1:46, 1:45

Struggled with strike rate/ breath. A breath every stroke is to much and a breath every 2 strokes isn't enough when rowing at 27ish strokes per mn.  Last thought rowed at less powerful 31 spm and breathing was better.

185 x6 this was hard. Am I being a pussy?

175 x6
175 x5 fuck these are hard

+
4 Sets @ 100%
Row 250M
15 Over and Back Burpees
10 HPC @ 135
Rest 4 minutes BTWN Sets


My pull was shit. Hamstrings and back were tired. Did all the cleans in 2 sets. 5 and 5 or 6 and 4. Row was all in low 1:30's for pace. I did better with a slower stroke rate but more powerful pull. Form on cleans was terrible. 

Didn't feel great today. Just felt like my lifts were all off in form.

Comp Class

A) 2rep max depth hspu.

I didn't measure but it was pretty deep but still easy. Gets to a point of being kinda stupid because it's so deep. Should have done max reps at a depth or something. Not sure what this did for me. 

B) 30mn EMOM; 1C&J @135, 1 snatch, 5 burpee pull-ups. 

This was pretty easy. Kept all rounds at about 30 seconds and never got to tired. Took my time on the burpee pull-ups. 

C) 3000m partner row. 1 rows while the other holds kb's.

I dunno what our time was. Nick was rowing pretty slow in the beginning. My grip went fast. Started holding for like 2mn and by the end was doing 30-45seconds. I rowed at 1:30-1:35 when I was rowing but always got to rest, never more then about 350m at a time. 

I kinda see why you haven't had me do comp class yet. It wasn't a great workout for me and didn't really work on anything hard besides grip. My typical workouts are harder then this for me. But I'm sure there will be other days that I really struggle with the comp class. It was fun to workout with others for a change though.

Day 20 
A. Hang Squat Snatch to a Max

295 x5 feel hard today. Maybe not warmed up enough
295 x5
295 x5
295 x5 bi videos this. I didn't realize how much I was rounding my back. Need to drop hips a little lower I thing. Going down in weight and focusing on straight back. 
275 x4. Not sure how much better that was. Hmmm.....

B1 15 Power Snatches for Time 75lbs x4 Rest 0 secconds

:40

B2. 7 Power Snatches for Time 155lbs x4 Rest 4 minutes

1:50 terrible, snatch/hips are so slow
2:06 missed one and redid it. Slow 
1:50 a little better
1:52 took almost 20sec after set of 15

Low back was very tired on this and after. Not looking forward to 100thrusters. 

+
100 Thrusters For time @ 95lbs

8:28 not happy with that. 2:30ish I was at about 45 reps. That's almost what my Fran time is! That's bullshit. I really struggled. My squat was hard and slow, shoulders tight and low back hurt. 

Did 15 reps to start, then 10's until 75 then 5's 

Shit was hard.  Though I guess I can't really compare it to a Fran time or something else becauseI was pacing it way differently. Either way- felt like it should have been a lot faster.

Day 17
A. Squat Clean 8 Singles @ 85% 1RM

Missed one forward. Trying to focus on pulling my knees out of the way. 
 
B. 1 1/4 Back Squat 6-8 Reps x3 Rest 2 minutes

245 x6 for all. Felt pretty good. Coming a little forward as I get tired. I feel the weight transfer to the ball of my foot after a bounce out. 

C. Snatch Pulls 3x3

225. Better then usual. Need to keep weight more on ties instead of curling them up. And need to keep chest up. 

+
For Time

14:45 - 

all dbl unders were unbroken once I started. 

Did 6,4 for the 1-7 rounds of do

6 rounds. Easy and unbroken. Obviously. 

At noon:

A. EMOM 12 min 3 Hang Squat snatches @ 65% 1rm

135

Not great but did it ok. Felt like I was catching it forward. Not sure if it was because I was pulling up more instead of back or if it's cuz my shoulders are tight from this mornings thrusters. 

B. Snatch Balance 5,4,3,2,1 Rest 2 minutes

165, 175, 185, 205, 225

Could have done more. I wasn't very fast though.y drop was pretty slow.
