AM
A

Power Snatch - build to tolerance; rest as needed

Result: 135 / 185 / 205 / 225 / 245 / 265 PR

Boom sauce. Felt great. 

B

HB Back Squat - 3,3,3; rest 3min (heavy across, perfect mechanics)

Result: 405 / 425 / 435

Would like to get better at this. 

C

BB Pendlay Row - 3 x 6-8; rest 2min (mod-heavy, perfect hip/spine mechanics)

Result: 185 / 205 / 205

Miss doing these things. 

D

Single-leg Deck-squats - 4 x 5-6 ea leg; rest as needed b/t legs

Still suck at these. Oh well. It'll just take time. 

This morning was actually really, really rough. It took me about 2.5 hours to complete. Reason being, I coughed (a little too hard I guess) and I immediately experienced the most intense pain in my skull that I've ever experienced in my life. Easily a 9+/10 on a pain scale. I thought the arterioles in my head exploded. After consulting with a body of mine, who is a former Army Medic and is currently a Paramedic in the civilian world, classified it as basal skull muscle spasm. Apparently this is common if you cough or sneeze too hard. Either way, it was incredibly painful and not enjoyable at all. This cough occurred  between the snatches and squats and laid me out for almost 45 minutes. 

PM
EMOM for 40min
Min-1 - 8 Perfect Wallball + AD @ EN2 for remaining time
Min-2 - 4 Perfect kHSPU + AD @ EN2....
Min-3 - 20 UB DU + AD....
Min-4 - 6 Perfect TTB + AD....
Min-5 - 6 Perfect Brupees + AD..
+
AD - 20min @ EN1/EN2 by feel

WB - UB every round

HSPU - 1st RD kip, the rest were strict. My head started throbbing after the first round so I reverted to strict...I'm not having much luck recently...

Dubs - UB

T2B - UB

This EMOM felt easier than the others in regards to PRE. Caloric expenditure was about the same but that could've been because I kept my HR over 150 bpm on the 20 min AD whereas I was closer to 140 bpm last time. I'm going to ice my neck and heat my neck and take some ibuprofen. Shit hurts. 

Kyle - 

Sorry I haven't blogged the passed few days. Had a lot on my plate lately within the gym, some immediate family issues, psychiatric evaluation, and cardiologist appointments (3 this week). I was able to get everything in but my mind has really scattered. Please accept my apology.
