Getting out of the funk...

After a few rough nights of sleep my prayers were answered! I couldn't believe it...I finally got a solid night of rest without any wake ups from the kids, Mya, or my body. It felt great! A solid night's rest also meant I felt good enough to make it into the DP. I'm still in a post-competition funk I guess is what it is. The announcement of the first Open WOD didn't help me any mentally either. Trying to work out of it and get back into the swing of things. Hamstrings are still pretty tight from the back squats and that is making the lower back a little tender, but nothing bad. Wrist is finally feeling good again so the few days off really helped. Time to hit it...

Strength
Press  4 x ME UB @ 65% of 1RM(140#)
bar-95(8)---10-8-8-5

Old Fashioned Chin Ups  4 x ME UB @ BW
11-9-9-7
**alternate sets and recover, not a race**
- Another Push/Pull day, which I really enjoy. Press felt solid. Shoulder was a little tight, but loosened up rather quickly. Feeling better and better every week. Threw the chin ups in there just to change things up a bit to hit the pulling muscles a little differently.

WOD
4 rounds FT:
15 OH Walking Lunges (45#) (all UB, 1-2 no reps during the last 3 rounds)
10 Hang Power Cleans (135#) (UB, UB, UB, 6-2-1-1)
5 C2B Pull Ups (UB, UB, 3-F-2, 1-F-1-F-1-F-2)
= 7:31
- Not very happy on this one! I paced this one a little too slow between movements. Plan was to do everything UB. Arms were pretty roasted from strength, but I still thought it was doable. My walks to and from movements were used to catch my breath...I may have walked a little slower than I thought. Sub 7 I thought would have been a solid time for me. I got to the bar for pull ups at 6:44 and the no reps killed me. My grip just gave out on me during the last round of HPCs and never came back. I was moving pretty fast on lunges, but kept missing the floor once or twice within the first 4-5 steps...very frustrating. I don't know...just frustrated. Gotta figure out a way to battle back here and get fired up again to WOD. This whole pacing thing just puts me in a weird place mentally...I'm not a fan!

Catching Up...got some work in waiting around for Oly class to start
RDLs 4 x 5 *work up to a heavy 5*
bar-135-225---275-295-315-325
- I used straps. Felt good. I've missed these the last few times they came up in programming so I wanted to make sure to get some good work in on my POSC.  Trying to do everything I can to make sure the back issues are taken care of for good.

**Snuck some Snatch singles in as well. Working on a better receiving posture and lift off. Posture is getting better, which is taking the stress of the shoulder a ton. Last night the reps felt great on my shoulder. My lift off is still to forward though. Vid is 155# (70% of 1RM)
