Notes:

- Made it through the workout without hurting my neck!!
- Got the same weight for Snatch Balance
- For the HPC and PC I took the percentage from my max HPC instead of my PC, I felt good through these but I was a little hesitant.
- The HSPU were an improvement from last time but still I can't do extra depth, one day
- I got all the Bar MU's UB first time doing multiples on the bar

Notes:

- Pinched a nerve in my neck doing the hang cleans but I might've aggravated it doing the snatch balance. Feels like I got whiplash. This definitely limited me throughout the workout.
- The Snatch Balance was good, it's nice to work on that exercise.
- The HPC and PC could've felt better but my neck was a board.
- The HSPU, I usually use the regional standard (36" width). Shoulder width is a lot more difficult for me. I was unable to do any extra depth to meet the rep range, I actually had to stack plates above to lessen the ROM.
- Bar Muscle-ups, done as singles.
