Squat felt like crap today. Hip capsule was stiff. Tried to work it out with some "hip spina mobility.' Did not feel comfortable going super heavy on front squats. Hip was impinging. On the positive side, pull speed strength felt easy. Just catching in squat is tough.

Was a leg burner! Probably could of gone faster. Was feeling tired today. Maybe should of warmed up better. Knee felt good on box jumps. Bounded across each set.

Went UB on all sets and movements. Great piece to focus on cycle rate. Wasn't too much of a challenge. Got through it somewhat easy. Wonder if the rumor is true about 16.1 being a 7min amrap of mup's... If so, I am stoked! Haha

Hit this like you said. Based it off of feel. Split times were relatively consistent 3+/- min. Hip/knee had some stiffness, but worked out the kinks during warm up.

A. 205#  (185-195-205-210-210)
This went up easy. Keep pulling under too low though. Hit 210# twice, but caught at parallel. No pain, really happy with this. Speed strength seems to be coming back! 
B. 265# 
These felt good. Same problem as snatch, body just doesn't want to catch in a high power position. Jerk was going up easy, pull was feeling solid, but keep turning underneath too low. Can feel bar-body separation and crashing in catch.

Liked this workout. Reminded me of 13.1. Nasty low back pump last few minutes of workout. Pissed I didn't clear 185#, but then again didn't think I was gonna get this deep in the workout. Always wanting more! Should of picked it up at 135# to buy some time. Would of adjusted pacing next time.

Wow, that was nasty! Sprinted hard on assault first set and got off by sub 40sec. Went tng for 9 reps, then chipped the rest. In hindsight, should of held on for all 15. Went UB on thrusters, but slower cycle rate. I wanted to go faster, but I had to really concentrate on hip/knee positioning. Last set of assault was disgusting haha. I can't remember the last time my quads felt pain like that. Ouch!
4:49
Sad to say, but I was still feeling that chipper. Made squats difficult. Wide stance has really been helping mitigate pain. Still able to get below parallel without undo pressure on hip/knee. Went Ub for 21, 8/7 for 15, and Ub for 9. 
4:37
I thought this was gonna be easier than it looked. Was getting some pinching in hip when going tng off floor. Had to play around with foot positioning. Ub for 15, 6/6 for 12, and 5/4 for 9.

Worked up to tough single in 15 singles. Started at 225# and gradually built up by 10#'s every few singles. Hit about 6 singles at 225# to focus on extension and shrug. Could of probably finished heavier, but was trying to keep my knee feeling good for this week.

Have not done this since the open. Didn't improve from previous attempt (103 reps). Felt like I sandbagged the pace because I had more left in the tank. Should of went tng longer on C&J. Started doing quick singles at round 9.  

391 reps
Rested about 12min then hit this because I was short on time. Was bummed that I didn't beat previous score (395 reps), but was only off by a few reps. Definitely wasn't recovered. Happy that I was close to my previous attempt with little recovery. I know I can get over 400 reps now.

Love this workout probably because it was all body weight movements haha. Had to really push on this piece. Third set was tough! Wanted to come out hot on first set, but dialed it back a little bit. Fell off pace a bit on ctb, assault, and burps. Should of pushed harder on the assault (20+ cals). Ctb battery is not like it used to be.
