Thursday

Thursday
Today was really really great!
I had some ups and downs in my workout 
but I feel so much better then when I first started 
aannnddd I feel like I am able to figure out my problems and fix them! 
I love that feeling. 
I need consistency though! 
I am feeling strong, really strong.
 I am feeling really good on my diet as well. 
I have energy, and I don't hurt. 
I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained any either. 
Jason, asked me, are you trying to be a body builder or a crossfitter? 
I am having a huge mental shift and it feels awesome. 

AM
Warm up – include snatch balance work with load…..
A. Mid hang snatch pull + Hang snatch - build heavy in 12 min
*I didn't go THAT heavy because I am getting crazy about form and I really want to have good form before I add weight. Today Matt Bryant and James Taylor were helping me a TON and it made all the difference in the world. 

Warm up was a mid hang snatch pull+hang snatch+snatch balance
1-85lbs
2-95lbs
3-105lbs

Start
4-115lbs
5-115lbs
6-125lbs
7-125lbs
8-135lbs

B. Clean pull (10 sec lower): 2,2,2; rest 2 min (90%+ of clean RM)
*These were tough! I based it off of 200lbs, but I don't think I was thinking right because I should have done it off of 215lbs. SO I did it at 180lbs. 
+
6 sets for time @consistent pace:
10 cal AB
5 squat clean (135# Tng)
5 burpees over bar
10 HSPU
rest walk 90 sec

Round 4: 2:04
Round 5: 3:30

Saturday

Its Saturday!
I love Saturdays 
Todays workout was great
I wasn't able to do the 115# hang squat cleans because 
I couldn't get into a gym that was open, 
 I know that Sloan has access to a box, I can go with her in the future. 
SO I had to do something a little different. 
BUT I REALLY want to do the 50 hang squat cleans for time. 
Annnnywaaaayyyy

2ND SET: 165# + 8 Front squats

*I wasn't sure if I should go till failure on my FS 
or play it a little safe so I could get the future cleans and FS in*

B. Pendlay row @21X2; 3-5 x 5; rest 2 min
I tried doing the sets of 21 @ 115# and I couldn't do it. I did them at 95#
Then I did the other sets @ 105#
*Later on Michael Bann helped me with form on these, and I might of been able to go heavier if I was doing them with better form for the sets of 21. Not sure how heavy to go on these.

Friday Shhhhmiday

Today was GREAT! 
I feel like I am still learning what my speeds are as far as 90%/85%/75% etc.

P.S. I will be adding glutemine and fish oil starting tomorrow.

Morning

rest 5 min

10 min @ 85%:

I wasn't able to get to a pool so I rowed 25 min and did the air dyne for 20min
