Two Squeezes

Training: 1) Rack Jerk X 2, up to 80k(?)

2) Front Squat, 235lbs, 3X3

Notes: I'm an idiot and cut off the tip of my thumb making breakfast. I'm not able to pull. I used the opportunity to work on my weak sauce jerk. I'm still dipping forward and my footwork is a mess. I need to turn my back foot in and my front foot needs to go out more. I got better and more comfortable with heavy weights. My speed is good. I love squatting. I could have went heavier but followed the coach's advice.

Biastophilia

Objective: Jerk

Training:



Jerk, 100K
Personal Record


Jerk, 102K, fail

Notes: Went to a very full CrossFit class. I set an easy PR at 100K. I should stop when I set a PR. I continued and missed 102K. At least I'm not afraid of missing, still pushing my mental barriers. I dropped down and took heavy, lighter singles (95, 97) to work technique.

The Met Con was heavy and short. RAD. I did the pull ups with 40lbs, swings with 40K, and the lunges were longer than 100ft(not planned). I did 5 rounds in 10 minutes. Good Heavy Breathing. I no longer feel the need to keep compare my training performance to other people.
