Not Fast Enough

Got up early today for some Oly work at Prevail. Felt a little stiff, but well rested. Need to get my morning mojo back because I sure didn't have it today.

OWOD
Snatch - 7 x 1
Bar Prog.
95(3)-135(3)-155-175 ---
185 - 195 - 205 - 215 -215 -215 - 205
- Wheels just fell right off this morning. I felt good through warm ups and solid on the ladder up. I stuck 205 clean and at that point thought I'd be moving up to 225-230ish again today....insert SCREECHING BRAKE NOISES. I got to 215 and fell apart. I don't know if my back just started to fatigue or what. My pull started coming out and when I tried to bring it back in on the next two reps everything just felt off. Following my 3 strike rule, I brought it back down to 205. I got it, but it was UGLYYY!! Some days you got it and some days you don't. Added some more volume to the body this week probably just needing some time to adjust.

Back Squat - 5-3-1+@75-85-95% [425]
225(8)-275(5) --- 320 - 365 - 405(6)
- Surprise Surprise!! I got under the bar at 225 and thought 405 was gonna be pretty rough today. Thought the same thing after hitting 365 for 3. The bar felt light at 405 for some reason and I hit 3 without pausing and gained some motivation for 3 more. I found a nice bounce out of the bottom and called it at 6. 7 or 8 was a definite possibility!

Snatch Pulls - 4 x 3 (heaviest possible)
225 - 235 - 245 - 255


WOD
"Jackie"
1000m Row   [3:43; 20 s/m; damper@6]
50 Thrusters (45#)   [all UB]
30 Pull Ups   [15-5-2-2-2-2-2]
= 7:21 (:54 PR from Dec 11)
- Real happy about this one! Last time I blew everything I had in row and died on the thrusters and finished with a time of 8:15. A took this one on a little smarter this time. Took my time on the row, I think it was probably still a little too fast. Very pleased I pulled the thrusters off UB. I had a lot of pauses to shake my legs out, but I never dropped the bar (CT made sure of that). Got to the pull up bar and was hoping to get 20 on the first set, but couldn't. I probably could have gutted out a 3-3-2-2 on the last 10 to shave off a few more seconds, but oh well.
 I was real happy to see this one come up for two reasons. Two of my best friends did it recently and they both beat me, so I was anxious to settle the score (I lost to the small one by 6 seconds and smoked the big one by about 40 seconds). The competition I will be participating in has a modified Jackie as one of the WODs I will have to do on day 2, so this was a good practice session.
