Well... Today went better than last week, but still kind of a rough day.  What the hell, man. 

Strict handstand push-ups went SO much better than last week.  Opened with a double, then all singles.  No fails.  Used the blue gymnastics mat (last week just used a yoga mat on the hard floor) - I think I felt safer to drop more quickly and not have a 0:03 negative lowering my head to the floor, that made a huge difference...

Ended up doing the PM session just 2h after the AM... had a meeting at work at 4pm and it was stressing me out knowing I wouldn't get to the gym until 5:30-6.  What am I going to do when I get a real job? :/

The weightlifting stuff was super fun (surprise, surprise). Went REALLY fast through the first two movements - started on the OHS with 12:00 remaining (and didn't even use all that time). Caught the 175 power clean really low, so low that I pulled up my knee sleeves for two attempts at 185 but I couldn't commit. Made 20lb jumps on the bench press - 155 was a true 2RM today, the second rep was a struggle. Made large jumps on the OHS also (125-145-165-185). Failed the BTN jerk at 185 twice before getting it - once it was overhead, the squats were easy. 185 matches my 1RM, so that's neat. Pretty sure I could OHS 200lbs if I could get the BTN jerk... or maybe I should play with OHS from a regular front rack split jerk... 

So apparently my new thing is not being strong enough to dip out of muscle-ups.  This is alarming and extremely uncool.  I don't know why I'm struggling so much with this recently, it never used to be a problem at all.  Just like last week, even the successful makes were shaky on the lock-out.  I was going every 0:60 for the first two rounds, but then ended up resting closer to 0:90-2:00 on the last two rounds.  Called it on the last round even though I only made one, I could tell that my arms were just shot and I wasn't going to get another one.  Wallballs were unbroken-ish, I never dropped the ball but had a hard time catching a few attempts and had to reset.  Also, the target on the rig is so much easier than the line on the wall. Double-unders were SHIT today, like, literally worse than they've been in years.  Blahhhhhhhh.
