Did first set UB and singles the rest on muscle ups. UB on all hspu's. Kbs were rough for me on my left arm bc grip fatigued. Would have a different pace structure next time.

A. Strict Press Clusters; 2.2.2 x 4 sets; rest 30 sec; rest 3min - 135#, 145, 145, 150. Strength felt great OH today.
B. Strict Weighted Pull-ups; 2-3 reps x 4 sets; rest 3min - 70# (3), 75 (2), 75 (2), 80 (2). I think this is the heaviest I have gone for 2 reps. Working on engaging lats during initial pull. Seems to be helping!
+
100 Strict HSPUs for Time - 6:50. I think this is the fastest I have ever hit this. Opened w/ 30 UB, then chipped away w/ 3's and 5's.

A. Tuck Planche Holds; AMRAP x 4 sets; rest as needed - 16sec, 11, 16, 25. These were tough. Started getting the hang of it after a couple attempts.
+
For Max Cals:
Row 10min - 188 cals
Trueform 10min
Assault 10min - 141 cals
Kept a 30min running clock and transitioned on the 10min. The monitor kept shutting off every 3min, so I didn't get a solid measurement on the Trueform. I was running about 1:40-2min/400m. Hip was super tight after the run, but no pain. Stride length got shorter and shorter by the end of the 10min. Made the assault challenging! Was listening to "Muscle and Mind Project" podcast w/ Kyle and he mentioned you guys did this one haha.

PM
A. Squat Snatch; build to a max - 215#. Kept missing 220#. Felt easy in the pull. Just couldn't stick it. Was missing bar up front. I want to get my numbers back up really bad.
B. OHS; 3,2,1; rest 2min - 245#, 265, 280. This made up for the failed snatches haha. These feel better than front squats... Elbow has been a little achy lately. Like golfers elbow or something.

For Time:
50 Wall Balls 20#
40 Back Squat @ 185#
30 Front Squat 155#
20 OHS @ 135#
10 Thrusters @ 135#

2015 Regional Event 6
5 rounds for time of:
25-calorie row
16 chest-to-bar pull-ups
9 strict deficit handstand push-ups
13:40. Was super happy with this finish. Definitely a PR from last year. Ran through this several times w/ Ryan leading into regionals last year. In hindsight, I wish I turned up the intensity by the third round. Last time I did this workout I blew my arms up on the row, so I was somewhat conservative listening to my body. Did all ctb UB. First set hspu UB. Broke it up 5/4 and 6/3 early in to stay on pace.

B. Front Squat; build to a max (that is okay on hip) then perform 5 singles @ 90%; rest as needed - 255#. Heavy front squats are the one lift that bugs the shit out of my knee/hip.
