I'm So Sin-Surr

Push-Press
AMRAP bodyweight in 90 sec

Went with 135 which is 85% of my bodyweight. I tried to throw bw up (160) but couldn't even lock-it out once. I nabbed 12 reps in the 90 sec, but had a few "re-dips" me thinks. I'd say 3 were technically jerks (if I had to guess).

Tabata Mash-up:
Air squats
C2B pull-ups

Squats were: 22/21/20/20/18/19/19/19
C2B were: 14/13/10/8/8/7/6/6

I hit 7 on the last two sets of C2B, but didn't quite make full contact with my chest so I'm not going to count them. They wouldn't in a comp. Pretty disappointed I didn't maintain 20 reps on all the squats... but I definitely blame the GHDSUs I did the day before.

A little foot note: My hip flexors IMMEDIATELY froze up after this WOD... haven't been able to walk normally since. dayum

Drink These Draining Seconds

Front Squat
5-5-5-5-5

With a partner, AQAP:
21-15-9 cal row
max thrusters for each interval

Felt sooper shitty today, and think it can be 100% contributed to diet. I ate a big breakfast before heading to the box, but don't think I ate it EARLY enough. Plus, I had 2 cups of coffee with it and NO water. I think hydration was the biggest factor here. As soon as I started moving during the warm-up I got dizzy/lightheaded and weak. Kept thinking I was going to blow chunks too, with breakfast still sitting on my gut. But, I sucked it up and did some work. No time for bullshit.
On the front squats I worked up to 185# for my final successful set of 5. The next set I hit 195# for 4 reps before failure. SO CLOSE.
Worked the met-con with E. She started on row, I was on thrusters with 95#. I believe my counts for each interval were 18-10-5, but Jamie was counting for me so I'm not 100% on that.
We ended the party with tabata GHD sit-ups. My dumbass opted to roll with a 10# plate on my chest. My lowest rep count was 9... Oh, and I threw up in my mouth and swallowed it. Is that paleo? I dunno... but it's definitely WIN.

Hands-On Training

Power Clean
5-5-5-3-3-3

Then, 10 Rounds:
10 dealifts, 135#
10 push-ups

Hands can never leave the bar, 5 burpee penalty for each infraction if you do.

Cleaned 135-155-170-185(fail)-175-180-DNF... Ran out of time and didn't get to do my last set of 3. Had some sloppy reps in there where my feet went WAY too wide. Actually did a squat clean on another not-so-perfect rep. I attempted the 185 for my first set of 3, but couldn't even
get it off the ground once. Think I could've bagged it on my last set had I more time... next time.
On the met-con I pulled a 9:12 with no penalties. In fact, no one in our class was charged any. I am 99% certain I did AT LEAST 11 rounds on this, and I'm thinking I might have even done 12. I remember 2 distinct times having lost count and going with the lower number of sets, but who's to say... guess I'll find out next time I do this WOD. The push-ups went a lot smoother than I had anticipated. I went unbroken for the first 5 sets, then on the remaining sets went unbroken for the first 5 of each set, then did 3 and 2 to finish out on all but the last set which I had to do 2 singles.

weight: 161.9

Track Of Tears

RUN 5 minutes
rest 2:30
RUN 6 minutes
rest 3:00
RUN 7 minutes
pau

Hit goal for each interval! 3.25 laps, 3.5 laps, and 4.125 laps. That's ALMOST 3 miles in 18 minutes : )

Did 5x5 shoulder press after. Warmed up then worked to 105#. Did 110# for 2 reps before failure (did push-press to close-out the set). 105 was definitely a 5 rep max.
