Got up to 225#'s
B. Strict HSPU, as many rounds of 3 UB reps in 7mins- 34" width

Completed
D. Strict Pronated Chin-ups, as many rounds of 5 UB Reps in 7mins

Notes:

- The KB FS weren't easy, the hardest part is maintaining a solid rack position. It can kinda put you in a bad positioning squeezing out tough reps

Week 2 / Day 1 Regional Prep

A. OHS, build to a 1RM from the floor
Got up to 225#'s
B. Perform 1Rd per min for 10mins:
5 DL @315#'s
5 BJ- 30"
Completed
C. Kipping HSPU, 50 reps for time
Time: 6m21s
D. KB Front Squats @24kgs/arm, 12 Unbroken per min for up to 10mins
(reps) 12, 12, 11, 6, 6, 7, 6, 6, 6, 6 reps

Notes:

- My knee was bad today, once every year or so I have this bone chip from a previous injury that locks my knee up and irritates my knee for a day or two. I got through it today. This wasn't a good workout today.
- The OHS, I was Clean and Jerking the bar into position, I think this will be key for the heavy weights and its more of a guranteed lift for me. I failed on 250#'s and 240#'s. Need more practice with the heavier weights, I haven't done this in a long time. I need to get a 225# OHS.
- The couplet, everything was done in 27-29sec. I did the box jumps with a step-down. This wasn't the easiest.
- Did the HSPU wrong, I went with a big set at the start and that fried my shoulders.
- This exercise sucked the most, the KB Front Squat blow. It's my shoulders and upper thoracic and fails first.

Week 18 / Day 1

A. Squat Clean and Jerk, build to 95% RM (265#) for a single
Got up to 95% @252#'s
B. 3 Unbroken Power Snatch @155#'s x 10 sets for time- goal is sub 3mins
Time: 2m40s

C. 12 Unboken KB Front Squats @24kgs As Many Mins As Possible- Goal to complete 10mins
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.

- My FS felt better this week compared to last
- The Split Jerk was the limiter, it was feeling poppy today and stable in the split stance.
- TnG PS were slick and simple
