This morning was a pretty bad training session. In retrospect, it was pretty good. But I just want to do better and improve ... and that just didn't happen on the last part. I felt like I had zero energy in the gas tank.  I think the 5 workouts in 3 days was a bit too much given I've reduced my caloric intake. Hoping to feel better tomorrow.

A.
Every two minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets):
Behind the Neck Jerk x 1
*Set 1 – 55% (165#) of 1 RM Jerk
*Set 2 – 65% (205#)
*Set 3 – 80% (255#)
*Set 4 -8 – 90% (275#)

-Complete, this felt very solid today. Was tempted to push the %s ... but wanted to get solid reps. Felt confident on every rep. This was by far the best part of the workout today.

B.
Every 3 minutes, for 18 minutes (6 sets):
Back Squat
*Set 1 – 5 reps @ 80% (365#)
*Set 2 – 3 reps @ 85% (390#)
*Set 3 – 1 rep @ 90% (415#)
*Set 4 – 5 reps @ 80% (365#)
*Set 5 – 3 reps @ 85% (390#)
*Set 6 – 1 rep @ 95% (435#)
Remember that these percentages should be based off of your 1-RM back squat from December 8.

-Complete, no misses ... but was damn close. Felt very weak on these today, was a huge fight for these reps.

C.
For time:
95/65 lb Thrusters x 21 reps
7 Muscle-Ups
Thrusters x 18 reps
6 Muscle-Ups
Thrusters x 15 reps
5 Muscle-Ups
Thrusters x 12 reps
4 Muscle-Ups

-7:12 ... this is an improvement of 6 seconds over 1/9/15 ... was really looking to improve my time on this a lot more. My back was blowing up from the back squats ... couldn't get in a good position at all for the thrusters ... was very toes-ey and generally uncomfortable. Really unhappy with my performance here ... but I felt like shit and just tried to push it the best I could. Tomorrow is another day.
