I asked Clovis if I was pulling too hard and coming too high on these but he said not to worry about it until I am actually at a level where I can compete.

Diet has been back under control the past two weeks so maybe I can start dropping some of the fat I've gained and the body weight stuff will get better.  I think I'm sabotaging myself by gaining weight.

Tuesday on Wednesday because I couldn't recover enough from Monday for some reason.  Shoulders really hurt, felt very sore and exhausted.

A. Static High Hang Squat Snatch- 1 Perfect rep every 60 sec for 10 min (55lbs if it feels GREAT, move up, if not stay at 55) (focus on fast pull under the bar into the squat)
3x55#, rest @ 60#  All of these felt pretty solid today.

B. Squat Clean & Split Jerk Cluster- 1.1 x 4; rest 3 min (start w/ 115lbs)
Warmed up with 95# and then 65# because jerk didn't feel good.  None of them feel good and my only explanation is just that I'm sore from everything else I'm doing with my arms.  I've done WODs with 95# jerks and they've never been great but suddenly it's like I don't know how to do it anymore even though I got 125# the first week of this phase.

1. 115# cleans with 4x45# jerk  2.  125# cleans with 4x65# jerk 3. 130# cleans (caught them too high and didn't squat) with 4x75# jerk 4. 130# clean (caught it high but did squat anyway and think I forgot to do the second clean) with 85# jerk (I think two because I think I forgot to do the second clean and jerk)

C. Back Squat @ 20X1- 2 reps x 5 sets; rest 3 min (first set @ 150lbs)
Loaded 150# but just didn't feel strong enough--felt run down.

B2. Ring Push Ups @ 22X2- 8-12 reps x 3; rest 2 min
(B1&B2 w/ 10lb weight vest)
These didn't feel good.  8 each set.

A. Static High Hang Squat Snatch- 1 Perfect rep every 60 sec for 10 min (55lbs if it feels GREAT, move up, if not stay at 55) (focus on fast pull under the bar into the squat)
55#, last two reps #65  Most felt good, fell on one at 55#

B. Squat Clean & Split Jerk Cluster- 1.1.1 x 3; rest 3 min (start w/ 115lbs)
115#-jerk didn't feel good ,was pressing out.  Went up to 125#, failed and dropped it on my legs somehow.   Felt irritated and distracted by how much that hurt and failed at 115# and went all the way down to 95# for rest of reps and even those jerks didn't feel good.  

C. Back Squat @ 20X1- 3 reps x 5 sets; rest 3 min (first set @ 150lbs)
Stayed at 150# the whole time because it was always a struggle.  Failed once on first set and then set it lower on my back and the rest felt better but still difficult.

Air Dyne- 30 sec ALL OUT; rest 2:30 x 5
Got up over 100rpm the first two sets but after that struggled to stay at 85rpm.  Felt like my quads were cramping up which was an interesting feeling I've never had before.

B1. Ring Rows feet elevated @ 22X2; 8-14 reps x 3; rest 10 sec (really focus on squeezing shoulder blades at the top)
Not elevated.  Still moving feet around some.  14 on each set.
B2. Ring Push Ups @ 22X2- 8-12 reps x 3; rest 2 min
8 each set.  All were a struggle.  Rings were higher than I've had them the last few times because straps were shorter.  For some reason this feels harder even though it's not supposed to be.

C1. Push Ups @ 31X1- 14-16 reps x 3; rest 10 sec (try to get chest all the way to ground, keep elbows at about 45 degrees)

45#

Snatch balance @55lbs-3 reps x 5; rest 90 sec
Felt much better than last week.  I think I had let my shoulders get too tight.

Squat clean and jerk cluster-1.1.1x3; rest 3 min
These were a mess today.  Probably should have warmed up with a lighter weight.  115# first set-felt okay. 125# second set but couldn't jerk any--arms felt weak  Back down to 115# third set but failed a lot--arms just felt weak.

HS Hold 5 minutes
Cut this down to 5 minutes so I wouldn't run out of time before noon.  These actually felt pretty good today. Didn't have to use much momentum to get on wall.  1 min and 20-30 second holds.

Air Dyne-25 sec all out; rest 2:35 x 5
Didn't have a read out but always had to fight to try to keep the same pace after about 20 seconds

10 min Row @ 2:45 pace
2088m-2:20-2:30pace (2:45 felt too slow and awkward)

-Snatch Balance @ 65lbs- 3 perfect reps x 5; rest 90 sec (fast drop under into the FULL over head squat)
45#, 45#, 55#,55#,45#
No perfect reps--really rusty on these, all were awful so never did 65#.  On last set Josh said I was jumping forward so Will put a towel down at my feet and that helped me drop straight down so last set was best set but still a slow squat.

-Static Hang Squat Clean @ 75lbs- 1 perfect rep every 30 sec for 8 minutes (fast pull under the bar into the squat)
Felt okay.  I noticed more of a difference with the snatch on the high hang because I think a lot of times I'm missing that position in the snatch.

-HS Hold (freestanding and on the wall) for 10 minutes
Some at 1 min, some 20-30 seconds.  Had hands in correct position in almost all of them.  Almost got into a few starting with hands on floor but failed and had to flip into handstand.

10 min Row @ 2:45 pace
2045m-2:20-2:30 pace again.  Need to remember to look into foot position.  Saw a video that said to keep strap around your toes but Bill showed me to put it on the middle of my foot today and that did feel like a stronger position.

B1. Bar Dips @ 30X1- max reps x 4; rest 10 sec
B2. Snatch Dead Lift @ 52X1; 6-8 reps x 4; rest 3 min (focus on keep tall chest just like a snatch all the way up, don't let the hips rise first. Use straps if needed for grip)


A1. Front Squat @ 30X1- 6-8 reps x 4; rest 10 sec
135#-8,8,6,6--felt really challenging today but remembering to keep elbows high, knees out and that helps a lot
A2. Mixed Grip Kipping Pull ups w/ 10lb vest; max reps x 4; rest 3 min
Did 3 with vest but couldn't figure out how to secure it so that it wasn't coming up and hitting me in the face.  Did 5 without, then 9,9,9 without vest.  These felt really good but hands were still giving out.

B1. Bar Dips @ 30X1- max reps x 4; rest 10 sec
Dip station was set higher than last time but seemed harder.  4 (last rep not full), 3 (last rep not full), 3 (couldn't get back up on the 3rd rep), 4 at half depth or a little lower
B2. Snatch Dead Lift @ 52X1; 6-8 reps x 4; rest 3 min 
95#-6,8,6,8  Wasn't sure what weight to start with but 95# felt terrible enough to stay with.

Had to close one library last night and get up early to open another branch this morning so didn't get much sleep and everything felt a little off.

A.M.
Row or Air Dyne @ 50% effort for 30 min 
Air Dyne--don't know max effort yet but stayed at 58-60 rpm the whole time.  Could talk comfortably but walking felt awkward after.

P.M.
A1. Bench Press @ 32X1- 10 reps x 3; rest 10 sec
105#,105#(failed last rep),100#,100#,100#--apparently cannot read my own terrible handwriting and did 5 sets.  No wonder this seemed hard...

Probably faster than tempo on a lot of these--arms are pretty tired.  Right elbow is a little cranky from the jerks last night.  Going to ice it and keep an eye on it.

Some felt good, some I could  feel swing out, so stayed at 45# the whole time.

B. Squat Clean & Split Jerk Cluster- 1.1.1.1.1 x 3; rest 3 min
95#,115#,125#  One fail on the 125#.  First time I've had over 105# above my head so was feeling a little unsure.  I don't think I'm going low enough or locking out aggressively enough.

145#,155#,155#,155# (failed on last rep), 145#

Could not do any row with feet elevated so went back to floor and tried to stay as low as possible
B2. Ring Push Ups @ 22X2- 6-8 reps x 3; rest 2 min
These feel so much better than they did the first time I did them I'm suspicious I'm cheating somehow.  Maybe I have the rings too low?

C1. Push Ups @ 31X1- 10-12 reps x 3; rest 10 sec (try to get chest all the way to ground, keep elbows at about 45 degrees)
Struggling with the wider push ups.  Second and third set very broken up.
