    This workout was silly hard. 1 x 20 at 154 felt like death’s older brother. Huge thanks to Jonathan for getting me through.

    Hate high reps like this; really just not motivated enough to keep pushing, I guess. Went for 145# and made it through – light-headed but not broken, so probably could have gone a little heavier but happy to have survived.

    This metcon was pretty rough with the static holds all being difficult for the amount of time needed to complete the paired movements. And thrusters after a 20 rep back squat and a squat hold? Cruel.

    Today was progress for me because I squatted without discomfort during or after! I subbed front squats and did my set of 20 at 45#, focusing on form. I think my form was decent, though I might have been bouncing a little out of the bottom. Still, the fact that I did that volume without hip pain was very good. Hopefully this is the beginning of a squat comeback!

    That metcon was brutal, I was kind of falling apart halfway through it. My bar hang was pathetic, and usually I’m decent at that. Thanks to Dray, Anthony, Chris, and Caroline for being a great team and pushing through. The one benefit of a confusing workout is the extra rest time you get when you’re asking “wait, what are we doing?” I have even more appreciation now for what the Regional teams (and judges) went through with their similarly-structured workout!

    Dray, thrusters after a squat hold should be illegal.
