This was a gong show. Was suppose to be ring dips and 3 rounds but I could hardly do 2 ring dips, which makes sence as the bench presses were heavy. To top it off I just about cut the end of my finger off before this session and at this point had blood seaping through the bandages and dripping everywhere.

-Front Squats: 90x5x3 solid
-Deadlifts: 145x5 easy. should have went 148
-Weighted Pull-ups: 15x5x3 Again, easy.
Great session. I felt like death last week after 3 days on and had some pretty shitty numbers. Glad I forced myself to the workouts. Now I'm feeling good and my numbers aren't down. And all of this in like 4 hours of sleep.

-Evil Wheel:
Kneeling x7
Standing Incline 3 rolls x4

-Back Squats: 100x3 / 102.5x3x2
These were feeling heavy but moving nice. Could have done more but feeling like a volkswagon hit me, which isn't as bad as a truck but still hurts

-Bench Press: 71.5x5x2 / 71.5x4*
Oooh, so close on the last set. Felt pretty good though and comparing how I was feeling I'm surprised I managed that much.

-3 Rounds for time of:
20 KB Cross-Chops, 17kg

20 Ball Slams, 25lbs

My body has been hurting the last couple days but I've been telling myself to suck it up and get over this bump and the it'll be easier from here on out. I hope I'm right. Weighted in really light, back and core burning but still did a couple evil wheel roll-outs, decided to keep the back squats a bit lighter, bench press felt real good even though I failed on the last rep, and the metcon was solid work. Days off now.

-Front Squats: 85x5x3 heavy
-Deadlift: 150x2 blah, wanted 5reps
-Weighted Pull-ups: 14x5x2/15kgx5
The weights felt heavy today. The only things that felt alright were the handstands and weighted pull-ups. Clean and deadlifts just sucked. Front Squat was ok. One of those days I just wanted to stay in bed but knew I had to just suck it up for the greater good.

A mixed workout. I was doing one of the days off of Gant's template he's laid out with intention to follow it but I see now that I'll be making some adjustments such as:
Snatches. They hurt me (in a bad way) and after 7 months of O-lifting training I've made practically no progress and just plain old suck at them. Still. I will ditch them.
As for the rest of the workout; bench press was solid and will have to go up a notch, back squats weren't there at all. The bar didn't feel good on my back. I like the idea of more evil wheel and core work like Gant laid out. WOD was alright, the pull-up bar at my gym kills my hands.
I need to track food intake for the next week or so.

Blah. Was trying for 60x5x3. The weight felt light but I kept loosing stability and dropping it. Something to work towards
-Weighted Dips: 40x5/50x5/60x5
First time giving these a try so I started conservative. I was suppose to do shoulder presses but the OHS drained my shoulders for that. 60x5x3 is doable.
-Deadlifts: 147.5x5
Solid. 150kg x5 for sure.
