A.M.

A.  Back Squat; 4,2,4,2;  Rest 3 min
4 @ 255lbs;  4 @ 275lbs;  4 @ 305lbs;  4 @ 335lbs;  2 @ 355lbs;  4 @ 345lbs;  2 @ 375lbs these felt kinda heavy today, but I was happy with the lifts.
B.  Clean Pulls  3,3,2,2;  Rest 3 min
2 x 3 @ 315lbs;  2 x 2 @ 335lbs - felt good, I used straps and all the mechanics were good.  The first pull on the last 2 sets felt a bit slow but the TnG always felt good.

C.  30 Thrusters for Time @ 115lbs x 3;  Rest 5 min
1:29;  1:42;  2:14 - This was mental, the first set felt alright the last one though was tough.  I feel like I broke too much.  My shoulders were burning more than my legs.  I was catching myself holding the bar above my head not wanting to go into the nest rep then I would break pretty soon after.  

D.  Barbell Hip Thrusts;  12-15 x 5;  Rest 90 sec  ( same load as last week )
5 x 15 @ 95lbs - These felt good

P.M.

Zone 1 Hike 60-90 min
60 min hike - it was pretty hot out today and there wasn't a lot of shade where I was at.  As always I enjoyed it, Gabrielle worked out with me today and went on the hike.  After an hour we decided to hit the swimming pool.  It was great to have a workout partner today.

3 @ 275lbs;  1 @ 280lbs;  3 @ 285lbs - These felt pretty heavy today, I just didn't feel like I had a lot of power in my legs.

B.  Push Press;  Build to a 5RM
Warmed up well to 155lbs;  185lbs;  205lbs;  215lbs - 4 @ 220lbs (F) on the 5th - These felt good I really wanted 220.

10 Rounds for Time
1 Rope Climb
200 Foot Run
8:56 - I wasn't sure if this was support to be the regionals workout, Everyone at the gym was telling me to do the rope climbs leg-less, so I did and I went to 15 feet.  This was a lot harder than I thought.  The first 6 felt pretty good, but 7 on got really tough.  ON the 7th and 10th RC I had to wrap my foot at the top to give my arms a rest before coming down.  There was a long rest before getting back on the rope on the last 4 climbs.  This was a good one though, it was fun.

B.  Front Squat;  50 for Time @ 225lbs ( From the Floor )
8:53 - This was tough but not as bad as I was thinking that it might be.  I went 8/5/5/5/3/4/4/4/4/4/4.  I power cleaned them all got set then squatted.  My feet went out wide on a few of the PC at the end.

Airdyne 10 min For Max Cal
I don't have a score this one.  My monitor shut off about a min in.  I always start a wall clock when I'm doing anything on the AD because they are known for being pieces of crap and doing stuff like this at the most inopportune times.  I kept going and I was pushing hard just as if I was getting my cal counted.  This HURT as always.  I Gave myself 5 min rest after part B.  I was pleasantly surprised because I recovered quicker than I have in the past.  I mean I can still feel it in my legs and shoulders as I'm typing this but you know what I mean.  This was a fairly quick but fun day.  I feel accomplished - lol
