B)75, 95, 115, 135, 155, 165, 175. had to reset my hook grip at the hip on the last two, but what ever i did to my forearm was making it really difficult to straighten out my left arm. everything else felt good and fast tho.

B) first three sets were around 1:52-1:54 the whole way... last 2 sets i died off at the end. 1:54 for the first 250-300m then couldn't get under 1:56 for the last couple hundred meters. 

METCON: 6:39

first 2 sets under a minute each, but TTB last three sets i couldn't keep from swinging... lats and posterior delts felt like they couldn't stabilize my kip. snatches felt good and fast tho. grip is smoked tho i couldn't tell until i was done.

185
http://youtu.be/cc1dCFSu03g

METCON:  here is where i ran into trouble. warmed up power snatch up to an OK 175 power snatch (my current PR is 180 and that was with straps). started the clock and missed 185 3 times in a row, so i cut it back to 175, which i promptly missed 3 times again. cut it back to 155 on the first round so i could move past it... second round tried 165 and missed 3 times, tries 155 missed three times. went for 135 again, just so i could get past the round. rounds 3 and 4 i did at 155, and round 5 i finally hit 165.

arguably the most frustrating part of an already frustrating week. every miss was not high enough for a power AND out in front. Ironically on my warm ups i almost missed 165 and 175 behind me.

2) 1:48
3) 3:00- shins and calves just blew up... Ended up walking the last 100m. 
They also were cramping a lot on Saturday but I was able to finish that one. Not today. Just painful. Going to a Chiro Friday to see if they can help release what ever is going on in there. 

5 rounds
10:03
The rows felt good actually, burpees sucked because I just could not jump. Landing was especially painful. Ended up stepping over on the last 3 rounds.

185 re racking the bar after the first jerk was the hardest part.

1st set of CTB felt great. AD was just awful... 58 calls in 4 minutes, but i wanted to fall off the bike at about 2 minutes in. my "high effort" felt like a crawl, but my legs just would not move faster.

2nd set, butterflied thru 17 CTB then had to regular kip the last 5. just ran out of steam. 49 cals on the AD, again that might have been the hardest part of the entire night.

not the best training I've ever had during halloween... i think i had a s'more between every lift i performed and thew down 2 pounds of fajitas during the session... lol! and passed out candy to the kiddos... oh well. multitasking.

A)255# went straight for 275 after and failed. let out too much air at the bottom. i think on another day i can hit that. followed with 240 and 230 and made both. 

B)180# thats another PS PR. first one was super solid, second caught barely above parallel. I did use straps for that one tho. lifting at a buddies garage with no chalk and a newly coated bar that was really slippery. and surrounded by kids, wanted no accidents there. 

C)225#, PC was the limiter there.
