5/11, or the day Scott PR'ed his squat clean!

This was a rude welcome back from three days of golf and, well, overindulgence.

I started off with the fitness challenge wod.  I got 56.  On a better day I should have made it to 62-64. But reality is a bitch, so there you go.

I went up pretty quickly on the squat clean because it was going to be a long workout.  I did 135, 155, 175, 185, 195, then tried 200.  No doubt about it, I got psyched out over the milestone number.  The video starts at 175 I think.  Anyway, I hit 195 no problem and should get 200 sometime soon.  I do need to work on my knee placement (too narrow). Previous PR was 190.  I bruised my left butt check on one of those misses but I will use the heating pad and hit the fish oil hard.

Did the 2EMOM for 10 min of 155 squat cleans.  That was fun!  It got hard toward the end, but who doesn't like hard sometime?  It helped to have JS with me, so thanks for letting him hit it.

The front squats were fine.  I did 115, 165, then settled on 135, 135, 135.  They got better each time.

Went home and did the thrusters and BF burpees.  Holy cow was that hard.  My legs feel pretty dead right now.  The shoulder part of the thrusters was fine but those squats were no joke.  I did the burpees at a steady, not fast pace.  set scheme was 6-12-18-12-6.

Nice to be training again.
