So, I was right about muscle ups. Unfortunately this didn't bring me any joy since my first muscle up is still in the future. I did 3 attempts on 16.3 and despite all the cheering from everyone all I have to how for it is a bunch of bruises, and pain in my left shoulder and right elbow (all of those are minor and manageable). Oh well, that just means that I'll be adding bar muscle ups next to double unders to my big 5 for 2016.
Rest of the weekend's training went fairly well. Friday was a team pass that consisted of 100 each of wallballs, overhead squats, pushups, snatches, pullups, hang power cleans, T2B and thrusters. Every drop was rewarded with 2 burpee-squats. We hit the time cap in the middle of T2B. As usual for the past few weeks, I was pleasantly surprised by my pullups working reasonably well this late in the workout (I guess it's time to stop being surprised) and that I was actually able to do T2b this late as well.
Saturday consisted of wall climbs, front squats, burpees, thrusters, box jump overs and snatches. Working in pairs we did 20 wall climbs and 50 of the others. We were supposed to do 3 rounds, but we managed only 2. It was a very interesting experience where I go extremely tired during burpees and thrusters followed by slight recovery during box jump overs and much more during snatches(we did 5s there. My first round was always singles, and I ended with 5 touch and go that felt easy).
On Sunday I decided I needed to do something that I like and makes me feel good so I decided to do some deadlifts. The first few rounds felt easy, but when I tried 170 it felt heavy and then I failed a couple of times on 180. Since I still needed a win I decided to do some front squats and worked up to a new PR(91). That also marks the first time in almost a year that my front squat PR is above my power clean PR.
