First day of training after a nasty chestcold which is still lingering, but I decided to start getting back to a bit of intensity.
Yesterday’s A modified:
80 DU’s
40 KB Swings 32kg (Russian)
20 Hand Release Push Ups
10 Chest 2 Bar PU’s
800m Run
10 C2B
20 HRPU
40 KB Swings
80 DU’s
12:39 @ 70-80% Effort
Breathing still completely sucks, muscles are feeling pretty good. Getting back on that horse. It annoys me to not be able to hit full intensity.

Last injury was in a squat snatch @ 115 so this whole session was really mentally challenged for me. Thought about skipping it but I fought with that negative thinking and I won.

A. 75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 120.
Third rep always unstable on right leg, felt the weight shifting toward my toes (injury was on right elbow, maybe has something to do with it?)

B. 9:29
Row, keeping hr low 4:19
Snatches @ 85# 5/1/missed/3/3/3/5. Weight shifting towards right toes again and jumping a little forward 🙁
*wod with lifters

Great wod to kill my fear. Thanks!

A. Up to 175×3. I honestly cannot remember ever doing OHS outside of a WOD before. I’m happy with how these went.

B. Had to modify due to my profuse sweating preventing a safe catch for snatch.

20 OHS 135#
1000m row
– 8:29

Followed by an hour of random stuff finishing up with AB sprints. Off work today and was just wasting time until the first World Cup game started?
