2+12, 2+10
Held split pace on row, not bad. Thrusters were a different story. Worked around knee pain. Contemplated substituting thrusters for wall balls because it was aggravating. Used a wider stance and it seemed to take care of the issue, so continued. Did quick singles on the snatch. Thrusters were the set back on this.

Midline piece was just what I needed. Toughest movement for me was the L Hold. Had a difficult time maintaining position while doing kicks. Legs wanted to drop every time. Substituted a medicine ball for the stability ball. We don't have any at the gym. 

Wasn't super pumped about the assault today. I gave everything that I had, but wasn't enough. I had no drive in my legs. Could only maintain wattage for first set. Took 3 minutes recovery between sets. Felt recovered, but after the first minute in my legs hit the wall and had no gas left in the tank. Had me feeling a little discourage. 

One of the most important aspects I have learned over the years of training is that you have more good bad days than the good days. Shake it off and move on to the next one.

Completed on Assault

Increased weight based off of last week. Body is feeling good after having a couple days off. 

Could feel a little pinch in knee on squats. Still was able to increase load compared to last week and sit deeper in the hole. 

Held prescribed pace across each set on row. Tried being aggressive and quick on movements. Still trying to gain confidence in knee/hip. It seems to be improving each time. 

Tried to go UB on the bar MU. Failed at 25 and finished it out. I think I can get it doe if I were to try it again. First time doing 30 bar MU for time. Was feeling good till rep 20, then hit the wall. 

Did full 20 min on assault. Held an average of 160 bpm. 

Cooled down with some soft tissue work on calf, hamstring, and quads. Static stretching on hips and low back.

Completed (Avg HR 164 bpm)

Increased load on bar based off of feel of hip/knee. No failed sets. Didn't catch bar low; worked on receiving bar higher. 

Squats went well. Better than expected! Never would of thought that I could be squatting over 200# without any pain this early on. Focused on control movement down, keeping midline engaged, and staying tall. 

Had a hard time with the thrusters. Was out of breath first couple sets in. Bugged my knee after a few sets too. Wall balls felt better on body. 

Took 30-60 seconds rest between sets on complex. Having fun with these!

 

Finally got my HR monitor. Averaged about 164bpm. Focused on breathing and tuned out on the assault.

Went UB on all snatches. Tried speeding up cycle time on bar. Used narrower grip than usual. Seemed to help increase grip strength and speed. Good amount of volume today!

Used lifting straps for pulls. Weight was challenging each cluster set, so I kept the load the same across. Everything felt heavy today. I can't believe how much strength I have lost. Focused on speed of pull on deadlifts. Alternated between assault and row every 5 minutes. Held 275+ watts on assault and 1:55-2:00 split on the row.

Had a great day of training! One of those days where everything went as planned. Body and mind were feeling on point. No aches and pains. Increased load on cluster sets and squats compared to last week. Gaining confidence in my hip during squatting movements. Went UB each round. Kept each round in the minute. Quick transitions between movements and rounds.

Hit my 1RM for the press. Second time I have ever put it up OH. Glad to be pressing over BW now. Weighing in at 164#'s. No failed sets. Was feeling good, so kept adding. Digging these gymnastic complexes. Rested 1 minute between sets. New HR monitor will be here on Saturday. Went off of 500m split for the row. Hit about 5,000m.

This got tough. Broke the HPC's up because foot work was getting sloppy. I need to get better from the hang. Grip burned out before anything else.

Did the flute bridge slow and controlled. Paused at the top of each rep for a 5 count.

Used 95# for all across each set. All snatches were done unbroken. Tried staying consistent and smooth each set. Did box jumps to a 24" height.

Complex was tough. Still feel like my strength OH is getting back to what it used to be at. Couldn't put anything over 215# on this complex. Kept failing on the the last push press at 220# and 225#. Tried multiple attempts and had nothing left. Just wasn't there today.

This piece was challenging. Had a difficult time with the S2O. Weight felt heavy! Upper pull endurance was feeling good. Gonna push a little bit harder next week. Still got more left in the tank.

Trained at a different gym today to switch it up a bit. Plus they have a reverse hyper. We don't have one at the gym. Went 5 min back to back. Got tough towards the last few minutes. Knee was buggin' last couple sets. Had to do the 20 min based off of 500m split and wattage because HR monitor is broken. Need to go get a new one. Any suggestions on brands? Switched every 5 minutes from rower to assault.
