A) 75/95/100/105/115/120/125/130/135/140/145/F@150. 110# x 14/13.
B) 115/135/140/145/150/155. Thought I’d be going heavier but legs were toast from yesterday.
D) Had to do D first as regular class was in the ropes area. 3 w/10#, then unweighted rest of the way – 6/4/3/2/2. Need to work on these obviously.
C) 3 rope climbs (should have had 4th, but missed footing & ran out of time before making it all the way up.) Pistol progressions to box. D/U challenged, did singles instead 101.

A. Up to 195 (unexpected 5lb PR with shoulder not 100%)

B. 155/165/175/195/215/225 all high hang, timing is horrible from regular hang on both cleans and snatches

C. Did part A from comp page, no clock, but moved good thru all movements except pistols on left leg.

A. 55-95 – failed at 100 which was my old PR – thought i’d make 105. 2 sets @75# x 7 both sets
C. Max DU – 155 (no rope and dealing with patella tendentious so limiting squatting etc.)
D. 3 sets strict pull-ups x 8

Limited in time & equipment (traveling).

A) 45-90 … Could have added a little more, but these were perfectly straight back. No extension. Really happy with this as over extension is a huge issue for me. ME @65…11,12
B) used men’s bar for a change. 65,65,70,70,75,80
C) ah gymnastics. The bane of my existence. I was very happy with my rope climbs (4) and pistols (23), but disappointed with my double unders (80). Need more cardio work
D) did assisted muscle ups (35#) – 5 in 3:30 and strict pull ups 6,6,5
