Still somewhat sick…a week of work didn’t help. Can’t train tomorrow, so I wanted to still do something.

Front squats: 135/150/160/170/180/185

Did Grace recently, so did Fran instead today:
5:05, over 1 minute PR

Great work Taotao however like I said before. if you keep hammering your CNS then your body won’t recover from illness. REST

I know this cerebrally. I feel like when I get stressed, most of my decisions are motivated by guilt…need to reevaluate that.

Went 25/5 Thinking this is a PR

Not feeling so hot today, did the strength and came back in to do the conditioning later on. Just felt fatigued and yucky trying to warm up so I called it for the day. Hoping it’s not a bug that I caught
Strength:
A. Front squat 110/125/130/140/145/150F
B. Grace @75 4:16

Strength
A. 255,285,305,320,330,345
B. 2:24. Tap and go for first 15 reps. Confident I can go unbroken into the 20s.
Conditioning
A. 9:56, 7:52. I was content with muscle ups today. KB thrusters were a mess. Had failed reps where I would lose my rack position. Paced them out during the second set and shaved 2 minutes. Only 4.5 hours of sleep affected today.

So today was kinda just a fun day for me.
Up to 355 front squat which is 100% of my clean.
1:35 grace which is 9 seconds slower

Then decided to do a power clean EMOM. 1 power clean at 315 for 20 mins, focused on dropping lower and not wider.

Jumped into class wod which was “DG”. 10 min amrap
8 t2b
8 DB thruster at 35
12 DB walking lunges with 35’s
9+1

Then 6-5-4-3-2-3-4-5-6 of unbroken BMU. 4:11

Front Squat up to 405

Grace
1:18.
2 years ago I got 1:23. So definitely nice to see a PR as they are few and far in between.

S2
Conditioning
5:38
5:46

Pumped ! Both sets of muscle ups unbroken. I thought for sure the first set would be no problem but set 2 actually went easier.

Thrusters buried me. 2 10/5 for both sets. But a longer break in the second set. I felt like the thrusters should have been my jam but the muscle ups went so well. I’m totally cool with it.

Thanks tino! Yes speed up the cycling…I rested at the top quite a bit on the last 10 to 14…next time I will have the confidence that I can do it so I will be brave enough to keep pushing the pace when it gets hard ! ?

First round used the 55# kb. Fiddled with those and was a waste of time. Too damn heavy. Time for 1st set was 8:49
Second round used 45’s. Time was 6:00

Row a little over 4:00. Mu all 6/4. 8/7 on second set of kb. First set of kb thrusters was a cluster fx$&. Haha oh well

Primary Strength Session
A. Front Squat x 1 rep: 67,5-76-81-85-87,5-90kg
B. “Grace”: 1:46 (28+2…so almost unbroken…was moving so slow at the end, so it felt faster to drop the barbell and just grip it again). Not sure what I’ve done Grace at before.
Primary Conditioning Session
Joined the class for “team-Friday” and did a team-wod instead (Hero wod McGhee in pairs of two: 30min of: 5deadlift/13pushups/9boxjumps)

session one:

qualifier wod:

6min amrap:

6 double kb thruster 24kg
9 T2B

result: 7+9

Session two:

Front squat 6×5 @ 115kg

Grace:

2.04 Thought I can go sub 2min easily, but I tried to take too good grip instead of justing picking the bar. Also could have done better sets. Now did 10 unbroken reps and then rest of the reps as singles.
