 63# - video for comp submission

 68#

Test 2:
17/16/16/11
the jump to 8" target got really hard on the last set, getting pretty nauseaous at this point
Test 3:
12:25 
DLs UB, WBs first rnd was 10/15, then 5's, WB were definately the limiter and the pukie sensation.
Very nauseous starting this and almost threw in the towel after round 1 because I was close to throwing up. This was the first time I have felt this in a wod and it felt awful - I have felt nauseous before but not ever thinking I could actually hurl. I decided to wod next to the wall ball target near the far door in gym just in case. I had to really fight through this feeling the entire time. 3 hours later still feeling it. Yuk! I really underestimated my fueling today.

Wtd Chin Ups + 14 min Amrap - MUs, Thrusters, AD

OPT Being Feb 13

A. Weighted chin up; build to a 3rm
+
14 min amrap:
28 muscle ups
56 thrusters 135/95
112 calories airdyne
Results:
A. wtd chin up 44#x3, pronated grip, did not feel like a max but my left forearm was aching so I stopped there
+

28 MU's + 21 Thrusters

Had MU's in 8:50 - started with sets of 3's, then went to 2's (overall had 3 fails), hip pop was not there today on these

So I was intimidated not by the MUs but by the thrusters, I am weaker in my vertical push than pull and I went into the workout not expecting to get very many thrusters so I paced myself bracing for it to feel awful. Turns out I could have dug deeper on the thrusters and I underestimated myself - I started with squat clean singles and lost a lot of time plus unnessarily tired myself out. Toward the end Shanna yelled out "try some sets of 2s or 3s, hang on to the bar", so I got in 2 sets of 3s at the end and they were fine, not as bad as I was anticipating. Good learning to not over or underestimate yourself or the workout and instead just focusing on what is presented before you and what you CAN do. Awesome day!



Thrusters

About 2 mins after I did PR my PS by getting 100# overhead! Granted I did have to chase it down about 15 feet, definately would have been off the platform. A few minutes later I tried it again and got it with no chase down. I only have video of the chase down as you see when I leave the video screen.


PS 100#

For time:
100 S2O 75/55
1k run

My mind was somewhere else today during training and I was rushing...

A. 115x5 to blocks - felt tough but not a max, decided to stop there and move on
+

100 SOH
1K Run

8:15*
*Video confirmed I only did 89 reps, wtf? Not being fully present in mindset, plus poor math skills (especially during a workout) = a total miscount. No Becca 24+25+15 does not equal 75, ugh!!!
My 89 reps completed in 3:23, so I would guesstimate another 10-15 secs for 11 more reps.
I actually did 24(not sure what happened here, as I thought I did 25)+25+15+10+15= 89 reps, right?
This is hilarious and ridiculous, I can't wait to hear Amber's reaction!
Onward.
Don't I look so inspired!



 89 S2OH

+
DL and BJs
Got too happy to be done with the DLs and stopped after the 9 DLs with 6:59 on clock until Amber said something (about 30 secs went by) and I finished out the 9 BJs, I think at 7:59. Deadlifts the limiter for sure, BJs were step downs.
I have definately been setting up for DLs with my hips dropped to much lately as if getting ready to clean - clearly something to focus to be more efficient.

Fran 3:35, PR

Cedar and I drove out to Big Laurel Creek to go hiking in the afternoon. It was a gorgeous day and the creek was at a runnable level. On the way back to the car we saw a kayaker paddling downstream and Cedar just sat and stared at him thinking "what the heck is that?".

Added in practice on handstand lever ups against wall and accumulated 3 mins of handstand holds in 7 sets

PM

Squat cleans - 16 reps
Squat snatch -completed 1 as a PS /ohs and got 2 PS
Thrusters - 9

Held myself back on the cleans as I was nervous for the squat snatches and trying to conserve some energy, cleans all singles and no grunted efforts. Changing out the weights took a lot more time than anticipated. I did not expect to get any of the 90# overhead on the snatches since 95# is current max for snatch, so even though these were Power Snatches I was still happy to get 90 overhead after the 3 mins of cleans. Gives me hope and a window into being able to eventually do heavy snatches in future workouts.
