6:20am

30 minutes on rower @ Z1 effort

- Result: 6282m (~310 calories)

Damper setting was 5. Back felt a little tight before this, loosened up afterward. I changed the display on the PM3 to calories instead of avg/500m so to insure a Z1 effort level. I tend to move try to go too fast when I see how slow Z1 is performed. Good way to start the morning.

3:30pm

Warmup
300m row w/ damper @ 10, low s/m
10 squat grinders
10 inchworm to pushup
10 spiderman
50 double-unders
2 round
8 KB baby squats
5 burpees for speed

Mobility
Pigeon
Tricep roll
Wrists

WOD
A
For time
50 Front Squats from the floor @ 225#

Result: DNF (20 reps/~8:00 in)

My back really hurt after the 20th rep. I could feel it starting to give out around rep 11. This is incredibly frustrating. I don't understand how I can back squat 225# for 20 reps unbroken easily and can barely be able to front squat 225# 5 times before I'm really, really struggling. Very embarrassed.

B
15 minutes on rower @ Z1 effort level

- Result: 3372m (~200 calories)

Damper setting on 5 again. Started out really slow so to loosen up my low back. It kind of worked. It still felt pretty tight afterward. I did some pigeon and child's pose and it helped a little bit.

Very frustrated with today. I feel like I'm failing miserably at the sport of fitness. However, I think I just need to put forth a better effort in leaving my ego at the door when I come in as well as leave any expectations outside. I'll improve here. I know I will because I have a pretty damn good coach.
