Felt strong on back squats, felt quick and powerful on hsc, but on the metcon my grip felt shot (probably from yesterday) and that push-ups were also challenging in sets 2 & 3

Weekend Training

Yesterday I did 11.5 and completed 275 reps. I was nervous when the work out was first announced. I wasn't feeling too confident about it, but I feel like I somewhat surprised myself. I did all the wall balls unbroken except 2 sets; on one set I fell forward on rep 12, and on my second to last set i broke 9/6.My legs are so sore today, especially my quads! 20 Minute AMRAPS are mentally defeating; I fell like there is no end. In other metcons I think to myself, "the sooner I finish, the sooner I can rest" whereas in an AMRAP I have to keep going for the same amount of time regardless of the work I am getting done. I feel a lot more conditioned than I felt about a month ago and I think it showed in this work out. I look forward to future training and the results I will see!

I feel a bit worn out. My legs are so sore, and the rest of my body feels exhausted. Much needed rest day tomorrow.

Squats and Recovery

Yesterday's 105 chest2bar pull-ups destroyed me. Today my upper body was so uncomfortably sore. The volume and intensity were both very tough, so I was excited today to have a heavier lifting day with lots of rests!

B. OHS - 3 x 3 @ 80%; rest 2 min
C. Wall Ball/Toes to Bar practice - 5 min

RESULTS:
A. 155#; 165#; 175#; 185#; 195#
B. All sets at 135#
C. Curious to see how I will do in 11.5

FINISHER:
Air dyne. 10 minute recovery ride to loosen up.
-50 sec easy, 10 sec all out effort x10

Here are the OHS sets

Snatches, HSPU, T2B

Today I did the WOD from the gym I train at, Crossfit Cadence. The programming I have been following for the past few weeks (OPT) had a rest day programmed today. I skipped the training on saturday because I felt so awful from 11.3 and yesterday was a lighter work out, hoping to recover, so I needed to hit it hard today.
TRAINING:
5 Rounds:
-5 Snatch @ 95#
-10 HSPU
-15 T2B

RESULTS:
Time: 18:02

I had a lot more trouble with the HSPU than I usually do. HSPU are relatively easy for me, but I either have not been keeping up with the movement, or the combination between heavy snatches/ hspu/ t2b made it more difficult than I anticipated. I still would love to see any of these movements show up in the next few weeks of the Open! Here is a video of my work out (Rounds 1 and 5). I am definitely on my toes during my first set of snatches, but I think that got better in the later rounds. I need to get better at keeping my form/technique even when the weight is "light".
