2015 regionals: May 2014

On the rdl the limiting factor was my grip. I could not hang on long enough to pull bigger weight. The hang cleans were pretty much what I expected, my last rep was very challenging. I have a very bad habit of doing a push jerk even when I'm suppose to do push press. I need to work on it some more so that's the reason for the drop off in weight for the last set, once the weight became challenging it turned into a push jerk. The 2 mins ad was tough, I wanted so badly to get 60 cals per min, I'm just not there yet. My quads again were smoked.

The OHS felt good the long pause at the bottom made these challenging. 185 was a great weight, I failed on my very last rep.
The row was killer I could not seam to get going fast enough in the begining. I tried going all out but inconsistent starts had me a bit all over the map. Today's 15 min wods I felt much better, the hardest part for me was the lunges that seamed to have my legs smoked.

The snatches I kept the bar right at my hip. I did not let the bar trace my thighs at all. I'd like to think this is why I was having a hard time with 135. I did let the bar trace my thighs a couple inches on one rep and it felt incredibly easy. I also did all my reps unbroken, complete a rep and only let the bar back to my hip pocket, as oppose to all the way to the ground then reset. I've never done weighted dips so this is a starting point for me on those. The wod my palms felt like they were going to rip when I hit the toes to bar. So I had to take a bit easy on those. My double unders were inconsistent, some I went unbroken and the lower numbers were of course me not going umbroken. I had to use a wall for hand stand hold, I felt this would give me more of a work out because my handstand hold is pretty much zero.
Overall my body still feels really good, sore but no pain. I like that.

After the 15 sec me ad, I felt like I was gonna puke, during the 1st 15 min amrap I fought the entire time trying not to puke, not one part of that amrap was easy for me. I struggled the entire time. The second was surprising to me considering how the first one went. I caught a second wind or something and felt like I did pretty good. I kept the tempo on the squats throughout, except my very last rep I almost hit failure and took a couple more seconds at the top. The ten min ad felt ok. Again as I went through the ten mins I felt stronger at the end rather than the beginning. Overall this programing was awesome! Super excited to keep it going!
My diet still sucks really bad.

Today I only had about 6 hours of sleep. I got off work at 130 am and had to be back by 10 am. So I slept till 8 am ate breakfast and rushed through the work out. Even with the short time I had to do this today, those are the numbers I've been hitting recently on dead lift and snatch. They are still under my PR's. but recently that's what I've been hitting. However I think if took a longer rest between snatching and the row my first row would have been way better. The second row there was nothing left in the tank I just put forth my best effort.
