I didn't eat enough calories yesterday and ingested about 6-8 alcoholic drinks yesterday evening. Considering this I didn't exactly feel great today. I felt good on the lifting, but kind of dragged on the metcon. My shoulders and traps are not feeling too great, that max snatch and the 30 x 155 overhead yesterday was taxing. Because I didn't eat enough, I did look a little extra lean today which was cool, but right now I'd rather be performing my best than looking a little leaner. I was happy I nailed 185 x 5 on push-press though, I don't think I've ever gone that heavy before. Anyway, today looked like this:

Hang Power Snatch 3 x 5 @ 70% (115 lb) - I was going to go off of my 185 PR yesterday, but 3 hang power snatches at 135 was too much, so I took the weight down. I don't know how much my 1 rep power snatch is, I'd be interested to find out soon, both hang and from the floor.

Snatch Pulls - 3 x 2 @ 100% (185 lb)

Snatch Grip Dead-lift - 3 x 2 @ 100% + 10kg (207 lb)

Push-Press 5,5,5 - 165,175, 185 - 185 x 5 was a 5 rep PR. This felt heavy-ish, but manageable.

Rest 10 minutes then...

4 Rounds for time:

35 Squats

15 Burpees

20 KB Swings - 53#

25 Box Jumps - 24"

30 Double-unders

My time: 17.15. I did this workout with a guy that went to regionals last year. He beat me by about 2 minutes. I definitely did not feel great, but I'm glad I got in the gym and got the work done. I'm super excited for squats tomorrow!
