Feb. 11th- CFG Open 12.4

Week 18 / Day 3

CFG Open 12.4

AMRAP in 12mins of:
150 Wall Balls- 20#'s, 10'
90 Double Unders
30 Muscle-ups
Score: 263 reps PR!
*Previous score was 258 reps

Notes:

- The game plan was to save the shoulders for the MU's
- WB's were done purposely at 12 reps every 30sec, last set was 18 reps. I did 2 extra reps to make sure I didn't miss a rep. This was done fairly easily.
- DU's were way better than last time, 60-74-86-90
- Going into the MU's my shoulders felt a little swollen. Did it all as singles.
- My breathing was great, wasn't really tired at all. It was all CP work on the MU's it definitely needs work.

Score: 6 Rds* miscounted on the first 2 sets (11 reps a piece)

Notes:

- The SC and J felt good today
- The Power Snatch Battery, really pleased with this. Going into it I thought coach was crazy thinking I can do a sub 3min time. 
- My squat stamina is weak, my legs don't seem to be the issue for these, its my thoracic. I'm having trouble keeping my upper body in a good position for high repetitions. 
- Also I miscounted the first 2 sets on the KB FS, this a a tough exercise.

Notes:

- The Snatch Tech work was good, I really enjoy doing this stuff
- Huge PR today on the Open 12.5 workout, I've been strategizing for a couple days how I'm going to do this. Control my breathing and I didn't want to Redline too quickly. Even though this was a huge PR I still could've done way better, I was actually a little too patient between movements. But I'm really jacked about this.
- The Second MAP session wasn't good at all, DU's weren't smooth, the skipping rope wasn't right today, especially on the 1st set. Overall this was a shoulder burner.
