Car Wreck

Once again I missed the DP :( I woke up this morning and felt terrible. My neck and traps feel like the morning after the first day of pads in Fall football camp. My calves are tight as heck. I got up out of bed to get dressed and knew it just wasn't gonna happen today. Plus knowing that my wife is okay with me going at night,  really takes the motivation away needed to wake up that early.

Headed into the 530p class. It was a good group. I got to WOD with Tara, Kristy, CT, and John. I was happy to see CT show up. Usually we are chasing each other on the board and rarely get to WOD together anymore.

Strength
Back Squat --- 8@65%, 6@75%, 4@85%, 4@90%
bar(8)-135(8)-185(5)-225(8)---277 - 320 - 365 - 385
- I was so happy to see the reps finally come down! I was very pleased with bar speed out of the hole on every set, even the last. The last set was heavy, but felt a ton easier than some of the other sets in recent weeks. My hinge is getting a lot better, at least it feels and seems that way. I'm not driving past my toes as much and am sitting back a ton more. I haven't had any problems with my back since making the change a few weeks back, which tells me it was the right decision. Gaining more and more confidence every time I get under the bar again. Feels good!

385 x 4

WOD

10:00 AMRAP

  15 Wall Balls (20#)

  10 Burpees

   5 Clean & Jerk (135#)

= 4 + 17

- WOWZER!!! That sucked! I probably no repped an entire round of extra wall balls because I hit too low or stinking missed the wall altogether...just terrible. My arms were shot after the first round. I came back to the wall balls and my shoulders were on fire and they didn't stop burning til a few minutes after the WOD was over. 

- CT and I came off the wall balls and burpees at the same time the first round. I pulled away at the C&J. He caught up and passed me on the wall balls and I caught back up on the C&J again in the second. We repeated this back and forth on the 3rd and 4th rounds as well. It made the WOD fun and I'm sure it's the only reason I did as well as I did. Gotta love friendly competition!

Cash Out

DUs --- 3 x 1:00 ME w/ 1:00 REST b/n rounds

80 something, 60 something, 70 something

- Tara, CT, and I had a little competition to see who could get the most DUs every round. Just a fun little game to pick up the intensity a little bit. Loved it! The work was awesome! My legs were hurting by that 3rd round. Love the work!

After yesterday and today...tomorrow is definitely gonna be a rest day!!
