Yeah I think so. No misses on the snatches. Chest to bar surprisingly felt good. I should’ve done 15 cals the whole time. But I was worried my chest to bar would suffer. Snatches were the easiest part of that workout. I have to work on my rowing. My 500s were slow, like 2:00 and 2:05.

Ran my first half marathon yesterday and got 1:42.25 (1:45 was goal)
Legs are sore so no training just walking the dog.
I will probably adjust tomorrows too.

A) 5:02/4:50, used 55# DBs and ran on the air runner (The only 50s we have are the round adjustable ones, and didn’t want to do renegade rows on those – also apparently I forgot to do the burpees)

C) 135×3/155×3/175×3/185×3/195/200/205

SAO
A) Done, 53# kbs for the bulgarians, just did kb rows with a 70# so I could do them outside and sneak in some vitamin D
B) Done
C) Just did the rows, holy moly I’m a weak puller

It was good – didn’t think I’d like the metcon first but it helped a lot with the lifting, and the emom was a good way to get some gymnastics and lifting volume in while out of breath – I like the outline of this cycle too, I need to work on the quick grippy stuff

A.
Wasn’t sure if this was to be approached as an actual conditioning piece or a warm up. I chose the latter at 5am. Finished under the cap each round ??‍♂️
B.
305/325/345/325/345/365
C.
Started at 135 and added 5-10 lbs each rep. Finished with a fail at 225. Hit 220
D.
Rip in my hand didn’t allow me to do c2b so I did shspu.
Bike 20/20/18/18/18/18 cals
SHSPU X 8-10 reps
Snatches all touch and go at 185. 3rd rep was close to squat

SAO
A.
Squats w/ 35# KBs – 75# DB for rows
B.

Conditioning A: 5:55; 5:33.
Back squats: 250, 270, 285, 270, 285, 300.
Snatches: 105, 110, 115, 125, 130, 135, 145, 150, 155, 155, 160, 165, 170, 175. No misses.
Conditioning B: 11 Cals, 12 UB C2Bs (should’ve done 15 in hindsight), Touch & Go Power Snatches at 135lbs or 65%. Powers can be more challenging so this was good to play with and challenge myself to not drop into the squat.

Running & Accessory done yesterday. Good first day.

Three sets of:
Back Squat x 5 reps @ 65% – 245
Rest 2 minutes

Three sets of:
Deadlift x 5 reps @ 65% – 295
Rest 2 minutes

For max calories:
10 Minutes of Rowing

Total Cals = 191 (2671 meters)
Avg = 1150 cal/hr @ 24 s/m (1:52.3/500m)

Compare to 6/11/2019:
Total Cals = 181 (2602 meters)
Avg = 1085 cal/hr @ 25 s/m

Overall +10 cals while reducing my strokes per minute by 1. And I wasn’t nearly as dedicated to the rowing pieces this cycle as I usually am so I’ll take it!
