A. Option 2: 2-3 MU–had a hard time holding the rings, seemed slippery
B. 95/100/105/115, then used 100 for tng–had to go every 45 sec, power jerks are not very good.

Back after a week in Mexico. Didn’t workout last week. Predictably, today was rough.
A – MUs went fantastic. All downhill from here though.
B1 – 150, 160, 170, 180
B2 – 165. Jerks were a mess. Last two rounds weren’t TnG. Fast singles. Gassed quick.
B3 – 225
C – 7:40, 8:30. Just no gas in tank.
Hoping I’m back to full throttle by end of the week.

It was outstanding. Took kids parasailing, rode jet skis, snorkled, rode zip lines, paddled through water caves, drove amphibious vehicles, went on a catamarn, sat by the pool, ate like a king, and drank a lot of really good tequila. Highly recommend!

Mobility activation done
A. RMU – 5 min EMOM – 3 ea min
B. 1st time I’ve had a Barbell in my hand in a very long time. Only did the Power clean portion today. Felt good!
125-135-145-155#
4 sets TnG Power Clean x 3-4 reps (no jerk) at 145#. Wow would have been very hard with the Power jerk too!
C. 6:40, 7:12 (kneeling wall ball shots 14# to 7’, C2Bs unbroken)
Ouch…the ass bike simply punishes you if you go fast and punishes if you go slow! It’s not nice! ?

There were so many people there it would have taken hours to leave so after the big win we just decided to tailgate so more.
