A. 235. Prob could have done 245. 

Finished the 225# bar at 11:40. About the same maybe 5sec faster than last year. I finished 135# bar :15sec faster. Finished 185# bar :35 sec faster, compared to last year. I probably eased that last bar knowing I was gonna stop. But I was hurting. Still though, super pleased with this result. 

10 Cleans @245 - 8:15... hit first rep, failed next 2 reps, took some time finished the 10. Way to long, but it best I could do.

For time:
40-30-20-10
Row calories
25-50-75-100
double unders

Did this Monday 19th. Sunday was busy. 

8:30....needs to be faster. Stayed at 1350-1400 on rower whole time. Wasn't to difficult. gotta push and then just hang on. Dos were fine. missed on 75 once and 100 once. 

December 17th, 2016

20 power clean 115#
45 TTB

A. 200.... Worked up to 195 no misses. missed 200 twice, hit it the third. Wasn't forward. I think form was good. Most I've snatched since April. 

AB/Snatch 
Set 1 - 6:12....missed 1 rep. didn't do first snatch until 2:30ish. 
Set 2 - 5:30....no misses. started about same time

11:56..... Definitely thought I had another set of 20PC at the end. Definitely would have pushed more if I didn't think that. That is first HS Walk I'd done since April as well, pretty rusty. I know thats not a priority now. If we throw them in during training here and there, It will come back quick I think. I just need to pick up the bar faster. I felt good on MU(9-6), HSPU(8-7-7-4-4), and TTB(can't remember). It's starting to come back, learning to not stand around as much I mean.
