Hanging In There

Got some good rest yesterday. Got my meals cooked for the week. Spent some quality time with the kiddos to recharge the battery a bit. Feeling good about this week. My throat and voice are still on the mend, but it'll pass soon enough. Really want to get some solid WODs in early this week and continue to work on skills and weaknesses at school.

Was in a pretty deep sleep when alarm went of this morning and hit snooze a few times. God gave me the nudge I needed to start off on the right track since my alarm wasn't cutting it. Sawyer started waking up because his noonie fell out of the crib at 5a. Just enough time to go get him and sent him back to bed and get up and out the door to the gym.

Strength
Back Squat --- 10@60%-10@65%-8@70%-8@75%
bar(10)-135(10)-185(10)-225(10)---275-295-320-342
- Today was rough. Back was a little tender from all the burpees yesterday and the heavy load didn't help any. Back was pretty tight and tender afterwards for a few hours. This is a mean cycle, but I'm definitely getting stronger. It's challenging for sure.

WOD
8:00 AMRAP
5 Ring Dips (all UB)
10 Ball Slams (30#)  (all UB, but some were slower than others)
30 DUs (couple UB, couple one miss, one multiple miss)
= 7 + 26
- Good WOD to start the week. Goal was to get 8+ and I just missed it. Slightly disappointed for making it to 8, but it wasn't for breaking down so I'm ok with that. I had one terrible round (2 or 3) on the rope where I missed 3-4 times. The others were UB or one miss. I blazed through the dips and I slowed on the slams, but not terribly I think. Throat gets pretty dry pretty fast right now. That makes it somewhat hard to breath after a few minutes in. Once I heal up, I expect to get a little bit of conditioning back.

School Work
Rehab work on back
- Like I said earlier...back was pretty tender. Did some rehab drills and it felt a lot better. Need to ice more frequently at night and be more diligent about doing my drills to keep my back strong.

4 HSPUs OTM for 10:00
5-4-4-4-4 (strict)/4-4-4-4-4(kip)
- Haven't done these in a few weeks so I wanted to get some work in early in the week. Felt strong on all the strict ones. The last set of kips got tough to lock out, but no misses. Happy with the work.
