Respectable

 I lost 9-11, I'll just call it a respectable loss and choose to be happy about it.

Saturday@The Courts

Just when I've resolved I need to find a new sport that better supports my lack of skills...I play really well.  Can I repeat it tomorrow?

 

30 Minutes

Alt EMOM

10 Chest to Bar Pull Ups--banded

12 Dumbbell Walking Lunges

10 Burpee Box Jump Overs

It was a long 30 minutes, after a few rounds the numbers were scaled out of my slowness.  The only time there was a little rest was between the walking lunges and the burpee box jump overs, and that quickly went away with more slowness. In hindsight--great workout!
 

Heavier

 

Stupid number of deadlifts, slightly heavier than I usually do in a WOD, but as always not as heavy as I wish I could do. As always, heavier next time.

Squat Day

 5-5-5-5-5 Front Squats with a lot of snap crackle and pop......

40-45-50-55-60

Not a PR but I"m happy with it and my wrists held up better than usual. Form is getting better too.

Is Your Refrigerator Running

 

5 RFT

200M Run

15 Pull Ups (banded and ring rows)

Time: 11:45

Power Snatch 3x1

My last recorded power snatch was 35lbs, today I did 40 with pretty good form, 45 with mediocre form (pushed the bar up at the end) and 50 with crappy form, missed the first try second try I got it but I'm not sure it's countable, so let's just say 40lbs

Thursday

 

Today was a fine, great day of pickle ball.

Pop

 Pop went something when I was kicking up for handstand holds.  It's feeling a little better now, but kinda radiates down my leg.

5 RFT

12 Deadlifts

Wall Handstands

Dub practice

Finished, somewhere in the 20 minute range.

Thrusters

 50lbs on my heavy set of 3, 55lbs on a heavy set of 2.

2017 Qualifier

 100 Dumbbell Snatches

80 Cal Row

60 Burpees

40 Muscle-ups

I did all the dumbbell snatches @15lbs (note to self-do 20 next time)

My rower display wasn't working this morning so I asked the coach to give me a time--he said 4 minutes, yeah I was pretty happy about that!

Burpees--done

21 attempts at ring muscle up

It was a good workout and I'm glad I was there, especially as I was walking out the door.

My Nemesis

I was going to say overhead squats are probably my nemesis, but in reality I guess all of the lifts are. They're never conquered, you just keep adding weight (hopefully...I've been subtracting lately). Today wasn't heavy, but the squats were lower and I didn't drop the damn bar even with a few plates on it. 

KISS

New Year Goals=KISS

1) Lift Heavy

2) Meet Protein Goals 

That's it should be easy in the simplicity!

Today:

3 Rope Climbs

5 Wall Walks

7 Deadlifts

5 Rounds + 4 Wall Walks, should have gone heavier on the deadlifts
