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.

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
D2. 7,6,6

A. 185, 225, 275, 315, 335# didn't think I'd get it. But some how I did. 

B. These felt so light after A. 185, 225, 245, 275 missed. Barely. Caught it just a little lower than usual and could not hold that bottom position. I'm close tho. 

C. 75x 10, 75x9, 75x8 75x8

Pull ups 2:40. Smoked a set of 10 then 2 sets of 5. Then had to rest a while. Biceps were feeling the pump a lot and i did not want to red line. Core felt fine till the last 2 set of 2 then my legs felt heavy.

AD. Done 115 cals. Apparently my legs hate lactic acid. They were burning from the get go today.
