A. 185, 205, 225, 235, 245, 255.  Felt strong on these.  Sometimes I wonder if I should push jerk instead of split.  I've hit more on split jerk for 1RM but not much more and push jerk is more consistent at 245-255 weight.  If I can get better mobility I think I'd be a much better Push Jerk person than Split.
B. 185, 185, 185, 205, 225, 225, 225, 225, 245, 255

**last 2 my pace was about 2:00/500m on the Row.  Couldn't hold it.

I warmed up at home then rower went out so I had to drive to the gym and kind of warm up again.  Don't blame this though, this was just significantly harder than last weeks.  Hamstrings were burning on the rows after the dead lifts.  Then just felt gassed on the row after snatches.

You mentioned a re-feed meal w/ high carbs low fat.  Not sure if this has anything to do with it but my meal last night was higher in fat than usual and lower in carbs.  Like I said, may have just been doing the movements first instead of other way around.

E. Completed.  Still broke it up a good bit but felt I went a little faster.  Not sure, I need to start timing these.  Regardless I did just "feel" stronger in this position today.

A. 245# was weight I was supposed to hit.  Hit 3 reps @ 245, missed 2 reps, then went to 225 for the last 5.  Very frustrating.  Think it could be fatigue from UB work on Friday?  Also, interested to start tracking HRV.  Seems like saturday is always a harder session at least for Jerks.

Tuck-ups - accumulate 60 total reps not for time

A. 245, missed 1st rep on 255.  felt bad.  Wonder if weighted OH Holds standing and/or in split position would help this more than HS Holds to get used to the weight.  My legs feel slow here too.  This has always been a struggle for me.
B. 225, 245, 265, 275.  Torso got a little weak here.  I think my glutes are weak which is why I respond so well to single leg work always being in my program whether it's strength work or just heavy metcon work. Can we maybe keep some of that in or should I just do a lot of activation stuff?
+
15 min EMOM done
**no problems here but TnG bending, especially snatches have always been a struggle also.  I liked this little EMOM.  I feel it in the shoulders the most on TnG cleans/snatches honestly.

E. 60 sec, 50 sec, 50 sec, 40, 40, 20

Overall feel tired from all the travel.  Ready for rest day and then looking forward to laying low with my wife and little man this weekend.

Thinking about doing a team comp in january that I might have to qualify for so whenever we start a new cycle let's chat about that.
