AM Workout (0830)

This morning was a really shit workout... worst time I've had in the gym in a while. My work and life have been extremely stressful and all that stress makes it very easy to have shitty days in the gym. I can't wait to be done with this horrible place and have regular access to a normal gym again.

A.
17.3
Prior to 8:00, complete:
3 Rounds of:
6 C2B pull-ups
6 Squat Snatches (95#)

Then, 3 rounds of:
7 C2B Pull-ups
5 Squat Snatches (135#)

Prior to 12:00, complete 3 rounds of:
8 C2B Pull-ups
4 Squat Snatches (185#)

Prior to 16:00, complete 3 rounds of:
9 C2B Pull-ups
3 Squat Snatches (225#)

Prior to 20:00, complete 3 rounds of:
10 C2B Pull-ups
2 Squat Snatches (245#)

Prior to 24:00, complete 3 rounds of:
11 C2B Pull-ups
1 Squat Snatch (265#)

-Scored 8 rounds + 8 C2B Pull-ups (had 4 snatches at 185# when the clock reached 12:00) ... I was changing out my own weights on this workout, so I lost a lot of time there, could have easily gotten those 4 snatches in the time it took to change all those plates around... overall frustrating because I wanted to get through the rounds of 225#. Was doing this workout alone in a bodybuilding gym with no music. Couldn't think of worse conditions for a workout like this. Looking forward to actually doing this workout under the right circumstances. Despite not getting through the round of 185#, I still was pretty tossed by the end of this workout, didn't have much energy for anything afterward.

B.
4 Sets:
Back Squat x 10 reps
Rest as needed

-135#, 185#, 205#, 225# ... just wanted to get some reps in.

C.
3 Sets:
'Durante Core'
10 Hollow-Rocks
10 V-ups
10 Tuck-ups
Hollow Rock Hold x :10
Rest :60

-Complete, always a good burn.

D.
ROMWOD

-Complete ... due to work obligations I haven't done a ROMWOD all week... was really nice to get this in.

PM Workout (1600) 

Had an okay session in the afternoon... wasn't anything too crazy or taxing. But I know I won't be getting many workouts in this week due to 14+ hour work days almost every day... so really wanted to get a little more activity in... just made up the session on the spot.

On a 35:00 running clock:

A.
EMOM 20 (10 sets):
Odd = Bench Press (185#) x 4 reps
Even = Russian KBS (2 pood) x 16 reps

Rest 5:00 and then when the clock reaches 25:00...

B.
EMOM 10 (5 sets):
Odd = Calorie Row x 15
Even = Knees-to-Elbows x 15 reps

-Complete ... part B was harder than part A... lots of knees-to-elbows. Overall a decent PM session, not too taxing, but got me breathing a bit.
