225-1:52 _____232 – 1:50_____240 – 1:40 – the jerk was my limiter here, I felt the elbow very very slightly warming up and effected a good rack positions, makes me wonder if my golfers elbow is more from forearm tightness than compensation at the shoulder…..I could’ve moved the barbell much faster if my leg drive felt better from transitioning from clean to the jerk. But it was at least a good feeling to move a heavy barbell. I do know that I’m naturally pretty strong so just feel a few exposures like this from time to time and we’ll be good with moving the heavy loads a little faster.

30 TTB – i was really excited going into this workout, i thought it was a perfect opportunity to tackle some weaknesses and try to put up a good score, and then I struggled with the hspu, our struggled with them to put up a score that I would need. I finished them at 3:25, and before I finished them I had a mini temper tantrum, i kicked the box because I knew I wasn’t going to finish before 3 minutes, and I kicked it one more time when I had 6 reps left and i couldn’t get them all unbroken. I came out with 10-10-8-7 and then from there it was a grind. I know I rested a little bt but honestly don’t know where the time went. I didn’t feel I rested that long (but we normally never do). I moved slow with the box jumps but that was to be expected, i never watched any video from DSGN so I stayed with box jumps, I’m sure time could’ve been a little quicker with step ups as I know my heart rate wouldn’t have been as high for that large of an amount. C2b, I actually started to gain back some time that I lost bt the first 2 movements, i did 3 sets of 7 were I dropped down and went right back up, i actually had a thought out plan with c2b, even thought out when i was going to allow myself to chalk up, and almost stuck to it 100%, the plan here was (5 sets of 7, chalk bt 3 and 4, then 4-4-4-3). Don’t remember what time I finished there, I knew going into sto, that this too elevates my heart rate but did 4 sets of 8, wanted to do 5 but when i went for that 5th set it was on a short rest and i just did 2, at this point my mind was focused on the clock and trying not to rest too long, i don’t think i did 5 and 5 to finish, i actually think i did that in 3 sets, but it’s a little blurry at the moment. I knew i was short on time for the ttb, so i knew i couldn’t break long and had to transition fast, so i got my first 7 reps w/in 5 seconds, short break did a quick 8, and took one more break to grab chalk b/c I knew I needed to not come off of the bar until the clock hit 15. Not as good a day as I wanted, i did avert the crisis of what could’ve been worse. I do not think it was a factor, but I did accumulate 20 strict hspu in warm ups, and man I would’ve really been kicking boxes if we stuck with strict, but I would’ve been way more conservative. I also had the same hspu set up as monday (and in email video), which is probably a ½ inch or slightly more deficit, i don’t think this plays a huge role since they are kipping hspu.
