Out to the garage for an early lifting session. Warmed up with Crossover Symmetry Activation. Lighter than usual so I didn’t fatigue myself before presses.

Giving up on 315# yesterday pissed me off. Haven’t been squatting enough. Nothing crazy today. A little greasing the groove. I did the last set of 10 unbroken and should have done that for all 3 sets. Was resting and breathing too much in between reps on the first 2 sets.
In to CFi for the 10am class.
Warm-up
- Cobra Stretch 2x30s
- Arm Circles

10:00 EMOM

Skill
10:00 EMOM

No misses! I thought for sure I’d be switching to singles by the 5th minute. I only hit 3 in a row for the first time 2 weeks ago and failed on a 3rd try at a double that day. Today I really focused on the hollow/arch/hollow swing, a big hip pop, and then a fast turnover. Never once got my wrists stuck in a bad spot on the turnover like I usually do. I’m excited! The XWODs are paying off in a big way.
Conditioning
Strapped on the 20# weight vest. Did about a 250m jog to warm up the legs.
5:00 EMOM
- 20s Sprint @ 80% w/ vest
Took a couple of rounds to get a feel for running with that thing. Took it off for the next part.
E90S – 5 Rounds
- 10s Sprint at 100%
My acceleration felt really good on these.
After a little break we jogged a little more than 1 mile. I finished out by doing Crossover Symmetry Plyo with the red and purple bands.
