Burpee Muscle Ups

11am @ FitBodies

3 x Skill Work
10 x UB Chest to Bar PU
12 x Pistols

NOTES: Tom showed me how to 'swim' my arms in my pistols, which definitely helped. My chest to bar felt awesome. I'm thinking about maybe doing a couple big chunks at the beginning of Event 4.

Clean and Jerk
1 x 95
1 x 125
1 x 145
1 x 165
1 x 175
1 x 185 (no jerk)

NOTES: These felt pretty good. I didn't even attempt the 185# jerk because my 175# was a little shady and I don't want to tweak anything before Regionals. It sucks not having Andy getting on me about my jerk form.

Back Squat
1 x 125
1 x 175
1 x 205
1 x 225
1 x 235
1 x 250 (FAIL)

This is an awful picture - on the way up from the bottom. 

NOTES: These all felt pretty good. But, I think I got a little too cocky. I really really really want to get a 250 back squat! I should have just gone up to 245, but my 235 felt pretty good. I was an idiot and bailed the squat over my head. It's not scary when it's happening. But, I watched it back on video, and now I understand why people freak out when I do it. Oops.

3 x 10 Burpee Muscle Ups
2 Minute Rest

TIME: Round 1 = 2:30, Round 2 = 2:38, Round 3 = 2:42
NOTES: I felt confident in my Burpee MUs today. I also did these on the rings at Fitbodies, which are hung from a 20+ ft ceiling and the rings are a lot wider than I am used to. I'm glad I didn't let this get in my head. It was really fun to do this with Laurie. She rocked these out like a champ.

Rest 10 minutes

1 Mile Run

TIME: 9ish?
NOTES: Laurie and I cruised this run. It was super windy and my legs have been pretty cashed. It felt good to just jog.


Cheers to blonde hair!
