*Scoring: Report reps for each movement
As far as the burpee went, it was at that point, I didnt feel I was absorbing the eccentric well, I was controlling the lowering too much to have a fast cycle time on them. My shoulders were fatigued and that might have been somewhat of a limitation, but was just too slow in the eccentric.
Power snatch – the energy it took to get the 9 reps felt like this is where the workout really elevated my heart rate.
C2b – even though at this point I was feeling it, I was happy with the rhythm I felt on my first set. I should’ve hung on for a few more reps, because the next 8 were more of a grind in my mind vs overall fatigue. Breathing was high, and this is where I struggled to jump back on the bar right away, but the minute of work made me do so a little. Lost butterfly for the last 2 reps, but I hung on to get the last reps as time expired.
Squat clean – coming out of the squat I didn’t have good dorsiflexion as my anterior tib was super sore and was never able to really get it loose, the only thing I can assume was from the depth jumps yesterday.
DL – hurt – even the few reps, was not going to let myself do any singles, don’t exactly remember the breakdown, but I know I picked up the bar for the last 3 reps and it hurt/burned my hamstrings so bad that it kind of hurt in my belly.
Thruster – 5 and I felt like I was going to die. Picked up the bar with about 30 seconds left or less and wasn’t going to put it down. Wasn’t able to go fast at all but was going to hold on the best I can
