Usually

 Usually I'm pretty hard on myself as far as how well I play pickleball but today was a very good day!

My new golf club (the right one this time) came today so I'm going to the simulator to try it out this afternoon.

Deadlifts

 Deadlifts 5 sets of 3 unbroken.  My heaviest was a set of 2@153. Pickleball class after.  Our Pink Par Tee Golf event last night was super fun and I golfed well, must have been the pink polo shirt!

She Gets It

Well my new club arrived, and instead of sending me a woman's club, shortened 1" I got a mens club, not shortened.  Luckily they sent me a return label and have placed a replacement order.  Hopefully I'll get the right one this time, I've been golfing fair---I'm happy with my progress so far.  I got to golf with Kev, Craig and Jack when we were in Maine and that was very fun.  We golfed at Hampden CC, when we go back in October I want to check out Foxcroft to see if we want to buy season passes for next summer. Tonight is Pam's Pink Par-Tee, Melissa just texted me it's also wear pink, Kerri would be so proud if I go buy more golf clothes!  

Yesterday morning we took out the ball machine and I really focused on my backhand, forehand drives, muscle memory, good muscle memory is kicking in and I felt like I was making good progress.  Now if my opponents would just hit it to me, you know right to me, like the ball machine does.  I was going to go this morning and drill more on my scorpions and overheads but just didn't get there.  We played last night and I had some great shots but also missed some ridiculously easy shots which is very aggravating.  Crossfit this morning was running, which is a nope for me so I'm headed to the garage to get some bench presses in, golf tonight and calling it good.

 

Clean and Jerk

 Today I did 65 and ran out of time to go heavier but it felt ok, no struggle.

Tubing

 Spent the day on the lake with the grandkids--no Crossfit--why I Crossfit?  I always think about Crossfit in terms of how heavy (not heavy) I'm lifting, today when I was out on the tube with the grandkids, I realized how I take my grip strength for granted.  We never really measure it, it's just a byproduct of all the bar work we do, something I never really think about until....just being able to hang on with the kids.

Power Cleans

 3-3-3-3-3

Why are my cleans not getting better? Let me answer that for myself, I'm pulling too soon, not getting under the bar, not keeping the bar path close, not jumping hard and high enough, and slow turnover of my elbows.  Is there another component I'm doing wrong, if it exists it should be on my list.  The ironic thing is it is a lift I really like.

On a better note golf last night was really fun.

Muscle Up Annie

 15:02, it was ok, dumb practice (that was a typo for dub practice, but it kinda fits), RMU practice and a whole lot of sit ups.

Pickleball last night, who does an outdoor lesson when it's 115? Still good lesson.  Golf tonight.
