tttTD (DB/BJ)
17:50 – piss poor effort.did the throwdown at 9:45 which is way earlier than normal training time, but did this for 2 reasons, so I could do the second part as if a second competitive workout, and also an attempt to mentally prepare for possibly doing open workouts earlier and maybe in a competitive environment. So the rhythm of the day was definitely off, but this was a great wake up call of what time I need to go to sleep, wake up, eat breakfast and all other pre-training routines to set myself up for the best performance possible. Workout itself, I didn’t want to come out to slow on the first set of snatches so tried to do bigger sets than I should’ve when the burpee make or break this workout and the snatches on the back end were just how much are you willing to suffer wanted to hold 10 burpee/minute and at times just didn’t want to work that hard, and times I got about 11 and just couldn’t mentally sustain that effort and took a few breaks instead of just keeping moving even if it was slower. I just need to grind a workout like this out and set myself up for better pacing. Just can’t have a shitty effort like this, should’ve been more mentally prepared with a plan and eating etc.

9:14 – all bench press and rmu unbroken, the only long transitions were going to muscle up, was hitting quick singles with clean and was trying to have some urgency with a high heart rate starting ring work, but not too much. Bench press got grindy, during the set of 3 or 4 (don’t remember) I think I thought about breaking, but just said grind through it and only break if you really think you can’t get it.
so annoyed by the throwdown effort that the thought crossed my mind to do it again, but for what, only to prove to myself I can execute a better plan and go faster. but not worth it
