So another week completed - Thanksgiving week did present a few issues.  Mostly due to how much pie and other non-usual items that I consumed.  I was able to complete all the training- even turkey day.  My max lifts are about the same but my amrap and intensity work is improving.

The Monday clean complex = I was able to get to 175lbs.  Better than expected - but I still should be doing more weight.  The 4rm back squat - was 230lbs.  I think I did too much at the lighter weights.  The strict press was 112lbs for 4.

Tuesday again was a slight struggle with the HSPU work.  Hoping the weekend of Dec 14 to get some extra help.  The intensity work went well - though the 6min recover seemed extra long.

Wednesday:
Snatch - only 125
C and J- 180(really struggled on the jerk)
Back Squat-250

Thursday I did some AD work and rowing for about 45 minutes.

Friday was more about prep work for Saturday.

Saturday:  so today was Jackie x 2, yikes.  I did an easy warm up.  Then worked on some easy snatch movements and thrusters.  My first Jackie was 7:51 - I was about 3: 29 on the 1000m row.  The thrusters - did 25 straight.  Then broke in rounds of 8 to 10.  The pull ups - opened with 10 - then rounds of 5.  

The 2nd Jackie - went 3:45 on the row.  The thrusters early rounds of 10 - then went to rounds of 6.  The pull ups - 5 and then down to 3.  Final time was 8:19.

Then the 10RM front squat.  I ended up 165lbs.  Tried 175 - no way.  My legs were cooked.

So I see progress yet most of all much better focus.  So looking forward to the 2014 Open.
