Longass day at work, had a raging tension headache. Tried to go to the gym but even just warming up made my headache worse. Tried to push through it for the clean and jerk, but almost blacked at at 145. Cut my losses and went home..

Today was the best workout I've had in a long time. Got to the gym and nobody was there, the weather was great, and I decided to "warm up" by working on my handstand walks and dancing around to the black keys. Handstands were pretty good once I got my shoulders moving. Can consistently get about 25m now which is pretty cool..and then my workout:

A. 8 sets – every 45 sec - Power snatch x 1 (80%)
105#. These felt pretty smooth. Tried to focus on kipping the bar bath close to my body and using my arms,,
B. Emom 10 min –
Odd – CGBP x 5 105#
Even – DB single arm row x 8/hand 30#
CGBP felt pretty good but got tough towards the end. Could have gone up a little higher on the rows I think, will try 35s next time...maybe 40s
+
5 sets, constantly varied different order/set: change the order each round
[10 HPS (55#), 30 DU’s, 200m run, 8 box jump (step down, 20”), 8 TTB]
rest 5 min b/t sets
Didn't hate this as much as I thought. I really hate running and dislike DU, but neither were thaaat bad. TTB were on point today.

Played around with MU afterwards and got 3 in a row a few times...progress

Had a long, rough day at work today. Seriously debated going home and napping, but I knew I wouldn't leave....so off to the gym I went. I got myself excited by doing MU to warm up. Getting really consistent at 2 MU in a row which is cool, but that 3rd is just taunting me...

A. Emom 5 min - BS @20X1 x 3 (85%)
182, last rep was tough
B. For 10 sets – every 2 min – Clean x 2 (build)
105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 145 (last 145 was power)
C. Jerk cluster; 1.1.1 x 3; rest 15 sec, rest 2 min
115
+
4 sets –
row 500m
12 CTB Pull ups
12 KB swing (1.5pd)
12 buprees
rest walk 3 min

only 2 sets. I did not eat enough today and was exhuasted...i hit a wall and just couldn't push it anymore. To be honest, I almost skipped all together but I made myself do at least one, figuring I'd feel better once I started....not the case. I also didn't realize how little I ate until I got home...shit
