10 am

50 Chest to bar pullups in sets of 5 for time

Result - 4:46

5 minute PR. Unfortunately, I don't think I could've completed the 20 x 5 chest to bar tester in sub 10 minutes. The chest to bars are feeling a lot better, though.

3:30pm

Open WOD 13.1

17 minute timecap
40 burpees
30 snatches @ 75#
30 burpees
30 snatches @ 135#
20 burpees
30 snatches @ 165#
10 burpees
AMRAP snatches @ 210# for remainder of time

Result: 168 reps (18 into snatches @ 165#)

Rep Attack
- 40 burpees - 2:24 (a little faster than 1 every 4 seconds)
- 75# snatches - unbroken
- 30 burpees - roughly 2 minutes (I think I was 1 every 4.2 seconds)
- 135# snatches - 1 rep at a time (these are always rough in this WOD)
- 20 burpees - a little over 2 minutes (I was around 1 every 6 seconds)
- 165# snatches - 1 rep at a time (pretty spent here)

This was a 33 rep PR and I'm pretty happy about it. Good news was I never felt fully exhausted. I tried to keep my breathing under control between the movements. The burpees weren't the problem here. The snatches set me back...the 135# specifically. Those ones took me awhile.

Overall, today was a good day as a bigger guy. Still have a ton of room for improvement, however, today was a day for PRs.
