19.2 & 19.3
So this is kind of bittersweet.
260
My belt came off in the squat clean before even the first overhead. This slightly got in my head, and not a single one of the reps was crisp or pretty.
At this point there’s 4 minutes left on the clock and I’m not completed to one more lift but I’m loading up the bar to 275 regardless. Then I got invested. First rep solid. Second rep good but receiving it back on the rack it crashed down pretty hard and I felt a minor shock down the left side of my spine. No pain, just alarming. But it got in my head. So going for rep 3 I was conscious of that and I felt I needed to dip a little deeper and drive hard under. Well the bar crept out in front of me too far and I missed the lift. A little bummed because the first 2 felt good of a weight I would’ve been stoked to hit for a triple.

Didn’t have the luxury of coming to a full recovery for 19.1 practice
Did
8 front squats
16 burpee
4 front squats
Not coming to full recovery could be a blessing and a curse. For starters the first 8 squats felt terrible the first 7-8 burpee didn’t feel too bad but my hips just weren’t happy. Slowed down big time after 10, the 4 squats were tough. But this was at least good feedback on what I have to endure. And at least Monday the burpee won’t be as bad. What I can say is, the squats will just be a steady grind, get them done with small breaks. I’m confident I can get uncomfortable with the first 15 burpee and then settle in to cruise for the last 10.
