D1. Approximately 20-22 sec to do 10 Burpees. Used remaining time + 30 sec to recover
D2. Broken (16-5-4)-UB-UB-UB

Notes:
Press was pretty easy today. Really focused on coming to a complete stop before driving up in order to work on the starting strength portion of the lift.

DL wasn't bad until the set of 445 and 455. 1-4 of the 445 was tight. Last rep was ugly. 1-3 of the 455 was tight and form began breaking down on reps 4-5.

MUs are coming along. Shaved 2.5 min off my time from last time. Was able to start out doing doubles for the first 4 rounds and snuck one  double in later too. All the rest were singles.

It has been a while since I had done any Burpees...and yeah...they still suck. Felt really slow and sluggish coming off the floor. Like I was pushing up off of sand or something.

Double Unders weren't bad once I go my groove back.

C2. as Rx'd
C3. as Rx'd

Notes:
Had a miss at 165 on the 1st set, 3rd rep. Had another miss at 175 on the second set, 3rd rep. I think I got in too much of a hurry. I only did 5 reps on the first set of FS with no belt. I was really fatigued in the midsection. I put on the belt and popped of the next set of 6 like it was 185...weird. Finished the last set of FS with a 6 + 1 to make up for the missed rep on the first set. Core is toast after the standing ab wheel. Most I had done since getting back into them about 3-4 weeks ago was 6 at a time. Today I busted out 3 sets of 10.

YMCA Musings

Saturday 1-21

Ok, so I went to the Y this morning with Amanda to help her out with her squats...which she totally dominated by the way and it was an interesting experience. It had been a very long time since I had been in a globo-type setting. I forgot what it was like. There were people stroking the ellipticals, guys doing heavy isolation curls...while wearing a weight belt mind you, and the occasional machine hopper who roamed the workout area moving from machine to machine but never really accomplishing much. It was amusing to say the very least.
Ended up doing some mobility work and core work and then hit a little variation of a metcon with Amanda that we adapted and turned into an IWT.

3 sets of the following
3 rounds
7 KB Swings - 70#
7 Push-ups
rest 2min b/t sets

Notes:

Came up on my toes a bit on the 200# Press. Not going to count it as legit until I can do it with completely flat feet. There was definitely no dip though. Put a belt on for the 545 and 565...which is a 15#PR. Rest of the lifts were with no belt.

B. 470 x 7, 415 x 10, 365 x 15

Notes:
Feel good with today's outcome. Was + 2 on press at 175#. One rep less than last time on 155#, and tied my best of 14 at 135#. I accidentally did a set of 5 at 155# between the 155# and 135#. I forgot to decrease the weight after the last set. Thought 135# felt heavier than it should so I checked and sure enough it was 155#. Wanted to get 15 or more at 135#. Hopefully next time. The extra set at 155# might have played a role in the outcome.

DL was a big jump in weight (+ 35#), but I did use a belt and straps. I have used straps every time I have done a DL RPT, but this is the first time I used a belt.  I feel like I left at least one rep, maybe more, on the platform at each attempt...especially the last two sets.

Not sure how tall it is. Thinking around 22". I know it is taller than the 20", but shorter than the 24".
