AM Workout (0530)
Had a really great workout this morning ... I was a little sore and tight when I woke up, but once I got moving I felt solid on everything ... we hit the class workout and then put some extra stuff together on the spot ... ended up being a really great workout.
A.
Every 2 for 20 (10 sets):
1 Snatch + 1 Overheard Squat (pause for 1 second in both the bottom of the snatch and the overhead squat)
-185#, 185#, 185#, 205#, 205#, 205#, 220#, 220#, 220#, 230# ... this is the best I've felt snatching in a very long time ... all the reps felt smooth and fast and the bottom position the snatch felt very solid for me. Really fun lifting session, looking forward to more of this in the future.
B.

200m Overhead Plate Carrry (45/25#) (must keep arms locked out with plate overhead)*

-13:34 ... only had to do 5 squats the entire workout ... it was on that second overhead plate carry ... that was a huge separator where people were breaking it up a bunch. Overall a fun/different conditioning workout that wasn't too taxing.
Rest ~20 minutes then...
C.

B.

Clean and Jerk
Sets 1-2 = 3 reps @ 60% (185#)

Sets 9-10 = 1 rep @ 90%+ (285#)+
-This went really shitty .... hit the triples at 185#, doubles at 225#, singles went 245#, 245#, 265# (fail jerk) 265# (fail jerk), 265#, 265# ... didn't get about 85% for the day ... but my shoulders and triceps were still beat up from Saturday... had trouble locking out my right arm, haven't had this issue in a very long time, but it used to happen a lot when I would train a lot of volume.... could have been the 42 strict HSPU beforehand, but either way, frustrating.

-2:14 / 2:37 / 1:25 / :30 / :18 ... went out really hard on the first set, ended up really catching up to me and I slowed down a lot on the set of 40 ... overall a very challenging workout, burned my lungs and legs.

I was pretty sore yesterday and when I woke up this morning ... took a little but longer to warm up, but once I got started on the first interval I felt great. Really solid training overall, proud of myself for programming this up and how it turned out. It was a really fun and hard day in the gym. Also proud of my fiance for really pushing the loading on these workouts and getting way outsider her comfort

A.
Front Squat
20:00 to establish 1 RM
-Singles = 325#, 345#, 355#, 365# ... felt very good on all of these ... 365# went up fairly easily, I basically ran out of time and had no idea where my 1 RM from squat was at ... possibly more there, but I was really happy with 365# given I am coming off of TBS and what a number it did on my body ... old PR of 405# is no where in sight, but maybe I'll get there again one day, although that isn't a huge priority in my training right now.

25 Toes-to-Bar

KBS took about 6 minutes ... push-ups were done in consistent sets of 5 with about 5-15 seconds rest in between each set ... the anchored sit-ups were also a bitch... I forgot how much more difficult than regular 'ab-mat' situ-ups these are ... overall a nice addition to complement what I did in the morning, nothing crazy though.

-27:05 ... haven't done this workout in about 6 years ... my previous PR was 27:45 ... so I haven't improved much since then ... but it is hard to compare given these were done at different gyms with different 800 routes ... overall happy with my performance today, plus this didn't exhaust me as much as I remember this working exhausting me 6 years ago. Always a fun/tough workout. Pull-ups were all 15/15 ... cleans were a shit-show.

Local gym was closed for the 4th of July ... so we went on a long run ... about 7.5 miles at an aerobic pace, total running time of 64 minutes. We took a couple breaks a long the way, around 20 and 40 minutes ... overall a tough run, primarily because I've had more calories from alcohol than I have had from food over the last three days.

Dropped into a local gym while traveling with my fiance and a friend. It was open gym, so we did a 3-person team workout, which was good given that I was slightly hungover, so the 2:1 rest was much needed today.
A.

5-5-3-3-1-1
-225#, 275#, 295#, 315#, 345#, 365# ... had on running shoes and no belt/sleeves ... 365# still felt pretty easy, but wasn't pushing the loading today.
B.
Team of 3, 1 person working at a time:
1600m Row
120 Hang Power Cleans (135/95#)
120 Wall-Balls (20/14#)

Dropped in to a gym while traveling ... the workout was a partner workout, but I left the reps the same and did the workout solo ... given the movements I was doing yesterday, this wasn't an ideal workout to hit today, but overall I felt solid on everything and enjoyed myself.
A.
AMRAP 20 Minutes:
Wall-Balls (20/14#) x 5,10,15,20 etc. (increase by 5 reps each round)
Pull-ups x 15 reps
200m Run
-Finished round of 35 wall-balls (7 rounds) + 12 wall-balls into set of 40 ... went unbroken on all reps the entire time ... overall a fun workout to hit on a beautiful summer morning ... was about 70 degrees and sunny, absolutely perfect weather for this workout. Great way to start my day.
B.
10 minutes of cool-down stretching with the class
