“You are the only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life.”

Day started of with great promise!

I woke up stiff, luckily it was a quick drink of water and back for 2 hours of wonderful sleep. Early alarm, but felt much better on second rise.

First squat on deck was a reminder, yesterday was a gem ... after some ROM with the team I was much better, felt like if I kept circulating it would pass quickly. Short consults today, so sitting was minimal and headed down to the box to get my sled on! I was really anticipating this one today.

Pre-WOD
Couple of rope climbs, might was well while I am around them.
Half Crow Progression - tough but progressing

Strength
Jumped right into class which was the right call and parallel programming today.
FLoor Press w/4second eccentric 
5x3 @95# all sets - last few reps of last set was a push, little rush, nice

EMOTM 10 minutes
Split Jerk @95# - should have gone heavier, just cautious after yesterday, form nailed!

Attempt @ 3RFC
200M OHCarry w/chains - no clips, dumped the bumpers after 1 RND, made it 2 RNDs before I couldn't keep the chains from falling off, it was either my core too wobbly by now or positioning or sweat or damn, that is just frickin' hard!  I couldn't keep cleaning and have the chains slipping, so called it good and moved on. Will attempt a repeat tomorrow for completion.
10 Strict Pull up - not from hang today but from full extention
20 GHD Sit ups - miss this!

Conditioning
Went to load the sled and crud! No sled, whaaaat?! It was there on Friday. How did I not see this when I entered?!

Ok. So, get to coaching and get a new plan. Really looking for that burn at the end of the day. Too late to run it in Cool. Feeling a bit let down. All is well. Focus on food and tomorrow.

My last class was pumped so it really was a good end to the day. Thanks guys!

Cycle 9 - Already?!

Run 1 mi
Just keep doing these, they will someday again be enjoyable ;)

30 (perfect) Snatches - 10@45, 10@55, 10@65
Got into the squat on the first 20, then pwr. How perfect is that?!

EMOTM 10 min
DBL KB Floor Press @16kg
These got hard around 6 min, keeping it even on the way up.

AMRAP 3 min
Floor Press w/bar @75#
This was strange as there is no rack, no spotter which is why I opted for KBs on the EMOTM and I tried them off of the floor. Not optimal but once the bar was up it was ok it was more than 60% but that's ok, the KBs were less than 90%. Compromise!
29  


3RNDs
20 Myotatic sit up
10 Rope pull up (hahaha used seat belt strap, no rope!)

OHCarry 400yds @75#

I cannot believe how tired I was after this work. Low energy afternoon, but had to pony up for the 5pm KB class.

I can't even count this as a workout, but I was sweating and enjoyed the movements for 25 minutes :) So somewhat similar to the crazy row metcon for L2 finisher for D1.

10-20-30-40
Ball Slams @18#
KB Swing - low heavy 20kg
Figure 8 to Hold 20kg
KB Press R/L @8kg
KB Bent Row @8kg

Running through the GourmetNutrition, Cookbook for the Fit Food Lover, Precision Nutrition. Forgot how much I enjoyed that one! JB, always a pleasure. Picked the 'Classy Chicken' for the post workout feast and a small 'rita'.

Now ... a little BrainGames with the family and bedtime came early. BOOM!
