1 @ 210lbs - These felt good today, I wasn't going for a max just good quality reps.  The doubles weren't TnG, but lift- reset- lift as quickly as possible.

3 @ 295lbs - These felt strong today.  I didn't know with the first open workout on Fri. if I should push the weight too much or just focus on fast bar speed and not struggling terribly on the last set.  All reps at 295 felt good.   

B.  Muscle Ups;  1 Set AMRAP Unbroken
13 - I'm pretty happy with this.  My grip on the turnover into the dip was getting squarely on the 13th so I didn't attempt the 14th.  I was kinda disappointed that I didn't attempt the 14th when I hit the ground.  But this is still a PR.

30 Muscle Ups for Time
3:36 on the 21-15-9, So I started the 30 for time at 4:36.  I want to say that I finished at 10:43, but it could have been at 11:43.  I did this workout with Gabrielle, when I finished I wrote my time on the board then watched her finish.  She did 15 MU instead of 30, and she did great.  But while I was watching her another one of our coaches erased the white board getting ready for our upcoming class and my times with it.  Thanks Miles.  I was surprised at how tough the MUs were after the first part.  I did mostly doubles with 2 sets of 3.  This was fun.

A.  Squat Snatch Build to A Max
135lbs;  155lbs;  175lbs;  185lbs;  195lbs;  205lbs;  225lbs;  240lbs PR - These were feeling good today.  Every snatch up to 240 felt great and there were no misses.  After hitting 225 easily I debated trying 235 or just going for 240.  I just went for it, I missed a few times catching it for a few seconds at the bottom then loosing it.  Then got it pretty smoothly.  I'm stoked

B.  30 Squat Snatch for Time @ 185lbs
9:49 - These felt great as well,  I was trying to stay nice and steady and not rush it.  I only missed once on the 29th rep because I was wanting to get a better time.  I looked back through my journal and I did this back on the 17th of jan and it took me 15:56 with 5 failed reps.  

P.M.

+
For Time
50 Power Snatch @ 95lbs
500m Row
5:43 - This was fun, my quads were feeling it on the last half of the snatches and throughout the row.  I was kinda expecting my lower back to get a bit tight so I set the damper a bit lower than usual.  However my back was feeling good through the whole workout, my quads were on fire and that slowed my turnover on the row.

P.M.

10 Min AMRAP
10 Dead Lift @ 185lbs
10 Hand Release Bdurpee
10 Box Jumps @ 24''
6+5 - This felt pretty good, everything was unbroken.  My calves were actually getting pretty tight from the box jumps, I was taking a breath at the top and trying to land in a good jumping position and jump as quickly as possible.  My lower back got tight in the last round.

215lbs;  225lbs;  235lbs;  245lbs;  255lbs - These felt good today, Strong pull and good catch.  I wasn't trying to push the weight today and focus mainly on technique and quality reps, finishing the second pull completely and pulling the bar back and catching it high .  I was happy with this today.

C.  Front Squat; 3 x 3; Rest 2 Min
3 @ 225lbs;  3 @ 255lbs;  3 x 3 @ 275lbs - These felt strong and the position felt good.  My right hip has been acting funny the past few days right at my SI joint.  I have never had this before, it has been annoying first thing in the morning.  I just didn't want to push the weight and really focus on mechanics.  It didn't bother me at all today working out, but it was in my mind.  I have never been to a chiropractor but I am thinking about going, just to check it out.
