Regionals Workout #4
21-15-9-6-3
Strict HSPU
Front Squat @ 195lbs
Burpee Over the Bar
14:54 - This was fun.  Before I looked it up I had it in my mind that it was 21-18-15-12-9-6-3.  In the middle of the workout I did a set of 12 HSPU after the round of 15, realized it and did 9 FS and Burpees.  My burpees felt kinda slow, but the HSPU and FS felt good today.  

P.M.

Zone 1 60 - 90 min Hike
60 min Hike - complete.  It was super humid out today but it was nice to get out.

Rest 20 min

3:33 - I'm disappointed with this one.  The thrusters felt good, all unbroken.  It was the set of 15 pull-ups, my butterfly got off and I had to stop twice.  My grip felt fine it was just my rhythm, its pretty frustrating.  I am also wondering how much knowing that there are 2 more of these to come, plays with how my perceived 100% is.   

4:25 -  This was bad - The first set of thrusters felt great, however the set of 21 PU I broke at 15.  I think it was a combination of shoulder fatigue and breathing.  After that it was down hill, I just kinda lost it mentally. I think thats what is most frustrating, that split second when you let go of the bar without much thought and you know that you could have held on longer - gotten a few more reps - but you didn't.  

4:57 - Crap.  Muscle fatigue/endurance or whatever you want to call it set in here, it felt like my body weight doubled on the PU here.  The 20 min rest between each was more than enough, heart rate and breathing were completely recovered.  It was always that set of 15 that got me.  There is a lot of work to be done here.  Today has for sure exposed a weakness.  I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, even though my times were not close to what i was expecting.
