Training Day 60

A. Front Squat- build to quick double
(225--I was scared to try to go heavier. Back just still hurts)

B. Power Snatch- Tough single
(155--again, scared of going heavier.)

C. 50 Wallballs Unbroken For Time
(1:39)

D. Row 45 seconds ALL OUT; Rest 4 minutes    x4
(1:25,1:28,1:33,1:38--It's so hard!!!)




Also, I didn't listen to music on the way home, so I could think about what we've talked about. You know I don't want to give up competing. It just feels impossible some days. But it would be really awesome to be that guy that comes out of nowhere in a few years. And now that I am going to be a full time trainer after I graduate, I will have plenty of time to work on it. Thanks for listening to me and giving me some advice (and making it applicable by using your own experience).

Training Day 59

Yoga

+

16 minute EMOM
1st- 3 Strict MU
2nd- 3 Strict HSPU


I couldn't pull any weight off the ground, Kip, or jump, so I didn't do my program. I did the EMOM just to move a little. Yoga helped my back, though. It's better now, though. Just a little tender.

Training Day 55

A. Snatch- Build to max
(200!!!!!!!!!--Got under 205 twice, just couldn't catch it. Missed 195 twice, but knew I could hit it so I went up to 200. Missed it once and nailed it.)

B. Front Squat w/ Chains @ 20X1- Build to 3RM
(225)

C1. Press @ 30X3- 5x2-3 reps; Rest 20 seconds

C2. Deadlift @ 10,0X0- 5x1; Rest 2 minutes
(185,190,195,200,205--felt pretty great, even though it's always rough.)




Successful day. PR Snatch by 15 pounds. 135 was my max press a month ago, and I did it for 5 sets of 2 today. The front squats and the deadlifts felt great. My back is still bad, and it's still affecting my nerves really bad. BUT, I can still do everything, and that's the blessing I will focus on. I'll take progress even when I'm "injured".
