In Florida to watch Shanna at the Crush Games.  Didn't get to a local box.  Did this at hotel:

Did strict hspu x 3; emom x 8; last three sets were tough

Then parking lot sprint x75m; every 3 minutes x 10; worked on leg speed and posture, last 2-3 were noticeably slower in leg speed.  Felt good here

AM
A. Jerk off blocks 1-1-1-1-1, rest 2 min shoulders have been feeling increasingly unstable overhead each week.  This week I hit a tough 205, missed 215, went back down to 195, was tough, then missed 205... Walked away from this.  Came back about 30 minutes later to practice a little touch n go at shoulders with power clean and push press a la Ben smith.  This felt really good and I got a pr of 215# for a single.  Not sure what the difference was from ground vs blocks, but I've noticed this in the past as well.
B. 1 pHSPU every other min for 12 min done with 12" boxes, getting much better
+
5 rounds for time:
20 cal AD
10 kb snatch 2pd
12 ring dips
14:35 - Done as muscle up and 12 dips, 4th round got a lot harder for dips and failed the muscle up on fifth round, over to lower set of rings to finish.

PM
30sec run @90%
30sec run @50%

4 sets:
60 double unders 1 miss/ub/1miss/ub
12 thrusters 115# all ub - challenge was the overhead push
25 box jumps 24" 
15 cal AD
rest 3 min tough and good.  
3:30
3:29
3:50 the thrusters took a good deal more effort by this set, slowed the box jumps and ad to follow... So rested an extra minute after this set
2:27 was able to pick the speed back up after an extra minute rest.  Close to throwing up for about 5 minutes after this

8/23
AM
A. Squat Clean TnG 140#x5 EMOM for 10 min good... Each week becomes more of a religious experience.... Challenging; focused on staying taller in squat and getting knees forward
B. Back Squat 1-2x6, rest 3 min 225.235.245.255.260x1(shallow).260x2(deeper) videos are first and last

C1. CGBP @30X1 1-2x5, rest 1 min  205.215.225.235x1.240x1
C2. DB elbowing row @2110 3-4x5, rest 30 sec btw arms, rest 2 min did db high pulls imstead... could tell how much weaker that was last week, so wanted another week.  55.60x4x4
+
AD 15 sec @100%
rest 3:45
x10 - 19.15(bad start).24(a magical 15s of perfection).17.17.15.16.18.20.16 - this was tough... Focus required for 10 sets of 100% really drained the energy for about 30 minutes after session.  Poor vision, mumbling and jumbling words, etc.  felt fine after the 30 minutes.

PM

jog on trails Z1 did about 10-15 minutes of running with periodic self manual therapy and walking... Could feel I was stiffer from the intervals than the normal steady runs.
