12/23/16 - 12/30/16

Hey LJ,

HUGE to hit 225 on a power snatch for 2 man.  In general looks like this week went really well, saw that there was some 'pressure' on the elbow but didn't seem like it was that bad.  Just keep me as informed as you can on this.  I wouldn't worry about the pop on the hang snatch, was at the end of the week and we are ramping up so could be just slightly under-recovered for that  CNS wise.  Keep your calories high and let me know if you need anything.

Friday:
A. Squat Clean; 1.1; rest 20s / 2 minutes x 3 setss **Every set at 275-285 based on feel for the day**
B. Back Squat; 4 reps @ 80% 1RM; rest 3 minutes x 3 sets
+
15 Calorie Assault Bike

500m Row
+
20 Minute Z1
A1. Held Hoodie all reps
A2. No misses on MU's was tough
I got talked into doing 12 days by my community but I worked at about 80% it was pretty easy but my lower back was tired from squats and MU's I think because it was burning a bit. 
Sunday: Rest
Complete rest day with a little mobility in my living room
Monday:
A. Power Snatch; 1.1.1.1; rest 20s / 2 minutes x 3 sets **205-225 based on feel for the day**

A. 205 for all reps but mistakenly didn't rest 2 minutes. I rested 3 minutes and had NO MISSES but I think with 2 minute rest I would have missed 1 or 2. It got tough last set.

EMOM 21x2 Mental Grind and tired as shit afterwards but did everything with no regard for my body. Felt good when it was finished and then my back was on fire. I actually put some fancy ICY hot on it for the pain. It was some over the counter stuff that was super hot. I only did it because I knew I had Back squats the next day.

A. Was super nervous thinking my back would be sore but really had no problems and it didn't hurt at all so I hit 305 again for all sets NO MISSES. You gave me this earlier in the week as well which I thought was weird.
ROW: Kept all rowing around 1:52 pace average
AB: Went hard as hell!

B. Deadlift @20x1; 4 reps @80%; rest 3 mins x 3 sets

EMOM: No issues. Some rounds I did legless and some I did with legs. It was pretty easy and no pain in my elbows.
