Metcon
3 rounds and 10m? Walking GM

Wow. Walking GM killed me. Stepping with my left leg was especially painful, something around my lower left back or upper left glute was super super tight. 

SUNDAY- glutes were so sore, a lot more than usual. Did go for a short swim.

A. Jerk Dip Squats, build to 120% of Jerk max for a set of 3-5 reps

It's frustrating missing when you hit a solid looking position. 

C. 95#x 8,8,7,8

Rope climbs

1:45, last rep may have been a little questionable. I was mostly focused on my biceps burning, I may have relaxed the legs at the last couple of pulls.

A. 135, 165, 195( straps), 215(fail, straps)
Hard to grip with 3 busted fingers, went as far as I could with no hook grip no straps, then added the straps. 195 felt great. My ego got the best of me with 215. Good pull, lazy shoulders and elbows on the catch. 


B. Done at 165#

C. Looked forward to this all day. 
305x2
295x2

First set of 305 felt great. I attacked the front squats and was pretty explosive.
Set 2 came down hard to get a good bounce and my right calf did not like it. Finished the set trying to squat really controlled, more of a 2022 tempo. Somehow still got it. 
Got buried on set 3 twice so went down to 295 and got it both times, but definitely not explosive and not attacking. Kind of surprised I got them. 

D1. 7,7,6

2nd- 3 Strict Deficit HSPU’s **add depth + Air Bike @ 60% remaining time **5” deficit
3rd- 5 Muscle Ups **try to go no false grip + Air Bike @ 60% remaining time
+
3 sets @ high consistent effort
Row 1000m @ 2:01/500m
rest 1 min
x 3    

Started out strong. Used a 6.5" deficient for HSPU wich were all pretty strong. 
Squats got really rough around set 6 but got thru only breaking once. 
MU were fine thru 7 rounds, round 8 I broke 4+1, round 9 I broke at 3 but it was because I ripped the crap out of my middle and ring finger callouses. At least it's obvious I was not false gripping. But it's just so humid right now at the box that it is practically impossible to not rip. 

Row was by far my weakest movement today. 
4:15, 4:17, 4:15

Legs and pulling muscles felt toasted.

B. 75x 8, 75x8, 75x8, 85x 8. Much tougher than I imagine. My back leg hip flexor was screaming towards the end. 

Rope climbs. 7 minutes. 

First 6 rope climbs took me 2:30, then my biceps started to go. By the last one my grip was ok... But my biceps felt super swollen. My biceps don't like all the extra weight I have gained lol!

C. These felt super heavy today, I had no pain on my back or hips, but squatting felt slow and heavy. First round were 3 front squat singles and 3x2 back squats.... Last 2 sets were much stronger 3/6.

I did notice that my right hammie was not firing properly. I was leaning way to the left and was having a hard time driving my right knee back, or extending, the result was that I was on my right toe and leaning to my left a lot. 

D1) done
