Anxious

Busy busy busy. Had to pack last night so Harv and I could head out of town as soon as I got off work to beat the big snow storm coming in. Rest as a little uneasy last night due to the excitement of the weekend. I was also pretty anxious to get some snatch work in. This would be the first time I've put anything overhead in a snatch position since the beginning of December.

Strength
Snatch 5-5-5-5-5@55-63-70-77-85%
bar - 65 - 95 - 115(52%) - 135(61%) - 155(70%) - 175 (79%)

- Since this was the first big test on my shoulder I didn't go by the proper percentages. I went by what felt good. I used the straps for the 5s today so I could focus more on technique and not worry as much as my grip started to tire out. Felt a slight pinch in most sets, but nothing horrible. I was favoring it horribly. Harv said that my right arm was coming straight up practically while the left arm was way out to the side. I could feel this happening. I was trying to focus on setting my shoulder back as I turned over too much and everything was getting screwed up. The last set I got 4 reps up and bailed on the 5th. Dropping under the bar was rusty as well.

WOD
12:00 AMRAP
10 Ring Rows
15 OHS (95#) subbed Goblet Squats (70#)
20 WB Sit Ups
= 4 + 37

- Not wanting to put that many reps on my shoulder I decided to sub goblet squats. Definitely felt these in the back as the rounds went on. Ritchie was back with us today and he was hurting on the OHS...so A) I'm glad I made the switch since I have the cert this weekend and B) goblet squats seemed to slow me down just enough to his speed.
- I HATE WB SIT UPS!! My arms and shoulders were gassed after the first round. That ball is terribly slick while trying to maneuver around.
- Not a great effort today.
