Well, This day was definitely a tough one to say the least. Mainly because Burpees!!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

But, I did set a new PR in something I have attempted quite often. So here goes the numbers.

STRENGTH:

Well I might have been able to go heavier on this 1 Rep, almost MAX!!!, however then it wouldn't have been an almost MAX

Warm up  of 135 or 61.36 KG X 10, 225 or 102.27 KG X 5, 275 or 125 KG X 1,
then Heavy Set = 315 LB or 143.18 KG

OLYMPIC

A.) This lift has been plaguing me for a little while mainly because I had rarely worked it before starting RAW, I know, stupid mistake!! However, I have been working it a lot lately and have got better at getting under the quickly and getting down in the full Squat for it.

Lift 1 warm up with the bar,
Lift 2 95 LBS or 43.18 KG
Lift 3 135 LBS or 61.36 KG
Lift 4 145 LBS or 65 KG
Lift 5 155 LBS or 70 KG, failed this because I lost the balance! Really sucks because I know I have got higher than this before. But no fails, right!!

B.) Was feeling pretty good with this lift and have been working it for a while, so I thought today why not see if I can get the PR!!!

Lift 1 warm up of 135 LBS X 3
Lift 2 155 LBS or 70 KG, good!!
Lift 3 185 LBS or 84.09 KG, good!!
Lift 4 205 LBS or 93.18 KG, good!!
Lift 5 225 LBS or 102.27 KG, good!!!

Heavy Set = 225 LBS or 102.27 KG. HELL YEAH MAN!!! FINALLY GOT THIS LIFT AFTER ATTEMPTING MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, NEW PR!!! BREAKING THE OLD ONE BY 5 LBS OR 2.27 KG. NOW, I KNOW I CAN GET IT HOPEFULLY WONT BE PLAYING THE MENTAL GAME WITH THAT WEIGHT AGAIN!!

METCON

Holy Crap, I hate Burpees!!! Probably because I tire out to quickly with them and suck at them!!

Round 1: 23 in 1:28
Round 2: 28 in 2:12
Round 3: 26 in 2:26, yeah I know way too slow. Will defintely be working on them.

First 3 Round METCON completed in 16:02, felt pretty smashed after

Second 3 Round METCON after about 2 mintues rest completed in 7:53!! Those burpees were the worst feeling burpees I have ever did!! Haha!! Gotta love it!!

Note: Overall, I felt pleased with this, although kind of bummed with the first OLY and need to try and move faster on the Burpees!! But, when you set a new PR it's always a good day!
