Fight Through

 There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!  

~Percy Bysshe Shelley

One word to describe today's work ... Fu__ ! You fill in the rest ;)! At least that was my thought post wod. Thanks Blair!

SP - one day God, please ... let me break through
45/55/65/70 fail on 2/65/60x5

BR 5x5 - 65/75/85/95/105/115 last two were sketchy for a flat back off the ground
I used the Pendlay form rather than Yates

Strict T2B 15/13/11 - grip!
No Pulley - wonder if I could have used the rig ...

Really want to move to getting both sessions in the same day. These were too close together.

Conditioning

5 RNDs

• 20 OH Walking Lunges
• 100M Farmer Carry
• 20M Handstand walk

Scaled 75#/16kg/HS Wall Shoulder Taps

24:11

I thought I might want to shed a tear at the top of the last round. Joy, pain, not sure what I was feeling. My goal was least amt of breaks. WL were 10/10 right away (foot placement and balance), KBFC were a blessing. HSWST were UB through 3rd round, then 2x10.

1 mile run cool down
1 mile walk

Today's work felt good, but now ready for some recovery. I still cannot believe that I thumb ripped from those cleans yesterday! New knurling. deep, errrg! Plus after weighing the bar, I was heavy by almost 10 lbs on my weight, which is the good news!

Early swim of a few relays with the kids. I was feeling yesterdays cleans or was it squats or maybe a little of both. Good feeling though not feeling too sore as I am re-entering my flow. Post work today ... enjoying the Olympic opening ceremony but I am ready for a good night of sleep.

Nutrition Note: Gut feeling a little swollen, not sure what fired me up earlier in the day. I was hungry pre-workout but the thought of food in my stomach while being upside down was not appealing. Home a little late, so lighter meal of turkey over herb salad and beets w/some left over sweet potato. Let's see how that settles.
