Today was ROUGH. couldnt get the body moving, felt sluggish, lack of motivation, etc… powered through but the sets were slow, drop snatches were ugly and weak. overall it felt like i  should have slept in instead of working out. 

A.
Four sets of:
Drop Snatch x 1 rep
Rest 1-2 minutes

This was nasty. been working in flats since i dont have my oly shoes here on the slope. Footwork was pretty poor, hips were tight and lacking external rotation. 135 was a battle. 

B.
Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets):
Snatch x 1 rep

Approximate loading % per set: 60, 70, 75-80, 80-85, 85-90, 90+, 90+, 90+, 90+, 90+

DID NOT follow this loading scheme. played around at 135 for a while then bumped up and finished at 155 for a couple.  

C.
Every 90 seconds, for 12 minutes (8 sets):
Clean & Jerk x 1 rep

Approximate loading % per set: 60, 70, 75-80, 80-85, 85-90, 90+, 90+, 90+

DID NOT follow that loading. worked up to 185 and  stayed there. 

D.
Five Three sets of:
Front Squat x 3-4 reps @ 4111
185#, No drive in the hips, things felt tight and janky so i kept it light. I have been seriously slacking on mobility and working on my labrum issue. 

Ret 3 minutes

130822

A.
Eight Seven sets of:
Clean x 1.1.1 @ 85+% Worked up to 225 for 2 sets
(rest 10 seconds between singles)
Rest 2 minutes between sets

B.
Three sets of:
Romanian Deadlift x 5 reps @ 4021
Rest as needed
*Use straps for these. 
Worked up to 255

C.
Back Squat
*Set 1 – 5 reps 275
*Set 2 – 3 reps 315
*Set 3 – 1 rep 335
*Set 4 – 5 reps 315
*Set 5 – 3 reps 335
*Set 6 – 1 rep 365 
Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.
Overall this felt pretty good. Definitely irritated the hip quite a bit. Needed a better warmup and stretching routing. Been keeping the hips really warm with rehband warm shorts and sweatpants. 

*Choose the loads based on feel, but these should be heavy

D.
Complete as many rounds and reps in five minutes as possible of:
5 Burpees to Target (your pull-up bar)
10 Pull-Ups
8+1 or 9+1 (lost track but most likely 8. Kept a solid pace but pullup endurance was definitely limiting factor. the last 4 rounds were 5, 3, 2s which i could definitely improve on.)

Every burpee must finish with both hands touching your pull-up bar simultaneously.

Consider these five minutes a test of desire, and let your effort reflect your ambition to succeed in this sport.

A.
Three sets, not for time, of:
Toes to Bar x 10-15 unbroken reps

Roll to Candlestick x 10 reps
B.
Three sets of:
Jerk Balance x 3 reps
Rest as needed worked up to 135
C.
Take 20 minutes to today’s 1-RM Split Jerk

Against a 3-minute running clock, complete:
Row 500 Meters
Handstand Push-Ups x Max Reps
Rest 3 minutes
12,13 -some janky life force rower with weird splits. Definitely different than the concepts. I rowed at a good pace (estimated a 1:50 split) and the rower read out was a 2:20. So I rowed 2 min hard and took 1 min for HSPU

E(13)MOM: run one mile
<<<>>>
6:55; 7:25; 7:35

Body was the big limiter on this one. Lungs felt really good but legs, hips and shoulders felt heavy. My ankles should be pretty beat up after this one. Tried to stay mid-foot striking bc of the lower left hip it limited impact AND hip pain a bit
