0645

Morning Weight: 275.0

Warmup
12 minute smooth AMRAP
250m row
Inchworm to pushup x 8
Strict pullup x 8 - 12
Squat grinders x 8
Rebound, unbroken box jump x 10 @ 20"

Specific Development
A
Burgener Warmup
B
Power Snatch 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; 2 minutes rest between

Result: 135x5, 165x4, 185x3, 205x2, 230
Limiting factor(s): felt lethargic and weak, ambitious, poor mechanics, the bar smoked my forehead on the 230# attempt

- This didn't feel very good from the beginning. 135# felt really difficult for some reason. I was really winded. However, as I progressed, the weight felt a little easier...until my forehead got in the way. Not really sure how it happened but it didn't feel to good. I was probably being a little over ambitious anyway with how I felt in the beginning.

Gen. WOD
5 sets @ "all out" pace
10 Deadlift @ 225#
10 box jumps @ 20"
10 burpees (clap behind head, MOVE FAST!)

Result (by round): :58, :57, :52, :50, :49
Limiting factor(s): perceived rate of exertion was inaccurate, body weight

- This was an incredible amount of fun! I'm not sure why the drop in time is so drastic. I felt as though I was going all out for every single round. I think the common denominator there was rhythm on the box jumps. All rounds were unbroken, however, I had 2 no reps in the 1st round and 3 in the second due to not fully extending my hips. I was trying to move fast which led to me getting out of control a couple of times. Burpees were rough, however, they are getting much, much easier relative to where I was before. The deadlifts were cake. I finished all 10 reps in under 10 seconds each round. I am incredibly happy with that.

This was a lot of fun. No baby, yet, but she will be here soon. I can't wait!
