+
7:55 Run- 10:55 total
Runs felt decent, REALLY hot.  Quads feel heavy running.
First bar muscle up (which is every rep on burpee mu's) is tough for me to get my hands and shoulders over.  Maybe due to shoulder mobility and getting over bar fast enough.
Burpee Ring Muscle Ups feel easier than bar but really feel it in my gut/abs I guess from all the hip flexion in the burpee and muscle up.

Did 100ft HS Walk- my gym is 50ft so I did 50ft down unbroken, 35 seconds. Hit a wall once I dropped.  Took me 2 min to get back.
Pistols done, hardest part about it holding the off leg up.  If I held my foot they are easy.

C. GH Raises with 25# for 5/set.  Tough.  I got up to a 45# w/ these before.
D. Worked on L-set for a while and going to start putting some gymnastics skills specific to L-sit in warm up b/c hip flexors are major weakness.

PM - 10 min AMRAP
AMRAP in 10 mins:
10 Squat Snatch @ 95lb
10 Chest to Bar
*Goal is 6+ rds 

6 + 3.  I think goal should be 7+ or close to 8 here. Didn't feel great.  Broke up from the start so maybe I just paced it properly.
Snatches went- 5/5, 4/3/3, 2/2/2/2/2, singles--->

Low back was kind of tight and TnG Snatches take it out of me.

B. Above Knee Hang Power Clean, build to a max set of 5 - no drop b/t reps
C. 5 Thrusters @ 155lb per min x 10 mins - bar taken from floor

A. built to 435!  Trained while classes were going on so I was able to stay distracted enough to not be sure how much weight was on there, just built off feel.  Added it up after.  415 felt really good.  435 was about max for 3 but that's 5# above PR from when we started.
B. 245#.  Pumped about this too.  I hit 275 for 3 in the comp but that was squat clean which is better for me.  I think Hang Power PR was either 245 or maybe 255.
C. Complete, felt solid.  Breathing a little high but not bad.  Felt better than expected.

Saturday 
AM - Row LP1 + Rowing Based MAP Sets
150m Row ALL OUT x 6 sets, Rest 6 x work time

500m Row
50m double KB Front Rack Carry @ 32kg/arm
100m Farmer Carry @ 32kg/arm
3 min b/t sets

Complete.  Row's were about 1:27/500m, 27 or 28 sec each.  Didn't hurt too bad but couldn't go any faster.
5 sets were all about 3:40 or 3:30 each.  Row was 1:57/500m.  wiped hands and chalked up then did all KB work unbroken.  Would do front rack carry and lower straight to farmer's carry. Got pretty tough towards the end but breathing recover between bouts was solid.

+
Handstand Walk - try a few sets for max distance
+

+
Single Arm KB OHS, 3/arm @ 16kg, 24kg, 32kg
+
Pistols, 10 reps as perfect/deep/fast as possible x 5 sets, rest as needed

Not great at HS Holds.  Didn't have room for max distance walk b/c I was at home so I did some walks uphill then I practiced walking and trying to turn around.
TGU only had 70# KB so I did 6/arm with 45# bar then 3/arm with 70# (just realized this was supposed to be 5/5/5 at each weight not 3/3/3.  
Single Arm OHS- still not happening.  Practiced with 25# plate and almost got full depth then I practiced narrow grip OHS's with bar.
Pistols- wasn't sure if this was 10/leg or 10 alternating.  I did first set 10 L then 10 R then I did 4 more sets alternating.  Fastest set for 10 alternating was 11 seconds, slowest was 14 seconds.

B. Complete, smooth and easy
C. Complete, same until the last one. Just a technical thing though but I hit all 5 reps.

double KB Front Rack Carries @ 24kg/arm, 1 min walk x 5 sets, rest as needed

Dead Lifts @ 335, felt ok not great
Snatch, felt bad.  185, missed 205 only hit it once.  Shoulders were giving out OH and the pull felt weak (I know, bad combo)
KB Thrusters, worst part was breathing and shoulders in the rack position.  Squat felt fine, legs started to burn just a bit on last 2 sets.  Breathing was pretty high last 3 sets.
P.M.
Wanted to snatch again so I quickly built up to 205 in nano's then hit 195 for 2 singles and 185 for 3 quick singles.
+
Press (went off 200, all time PR is 210 but I know it's not there) AND as I'm typing this I realized I did the wrong weights.  I started at 180 which felt way too heavy (bc it is!) and I did that for 4.5 sets, then 170 for 1 set then 160 (which is the right % based off 200) for the rest of the sets.
+
Wtd Pull Up @ 70#'s, left side is weaker and pops a little on way up.
Bar MU's unbroken but didn't feel great, first one is always harder..
+
Carries complete, rested 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:00, 2:00. Very tough, first set had elbows up and shoulders were smoked, after that elbows more down making more core work more, not sure which is correct.

PM - Running based 30 min Low (chipper)
30 min @ 75%:

10ft handstand walk
90ft bear crawl

I think it was 8 + Run but not really sure.  Runs were about 1:55-2:10 each time, HS walk unbroken every time after the first, bear crawl I stood up to turn around once each time but thats it.

B. Done felt sharp
C. Ditto
D. Terrible, drop to 55# DB on TGU after first set, this was not safe with how my left elbow and shoulder felt, it just wasn't stable at all.  REALLY need to work on this with accessory stuff i think.
