There are many things that went great today in my workouts.  I hit a new PR for my deadlift.  My Deadlift was previously #375 and I had been stuck at that weight for awhile but today I jumped up to #385!  I was really siked about this because my 1st attempt was a "no go".  I told Corey that I would give myself 60 seconds and then try once more.  After a minute had passed I stepped up to the weight and gripped the bar and stood up and pulled as hard as I could.  So regarding my deadlift I am a happy man!

Corey's been doing a great job this past week getting me ready for this upcoming weekend.  I did a "run through" with the HSPU on Sunday and I could not complete 40 reps under 5 minutes.  That honestly started to mess with my head and overall thoughts.  But I also knew it was just practice.  Well today I wanted to try a new "game plan".  I know for a fact that I can do 15 HSPU in a row but after that I'm pretty tanked, so I thought,"what if I do 4 reps at a time?" Corey suggested at least 5 reps there would only be 8 rounds rather than 10.  So my new game plan was to do 5 reps every 30 seconds.  If I can keep this pace I can finish my HSPU in 4 minutes.  So that is exactly what I did for today's "run through" (40 HSPU and 40 Front Squats, #155). 

Sunday it took me over 8 minutes to finish my HSPU and today it took me 3:47 to finish all of them.  Quickly I moved to my front squats and my only issue was my wrist so I taped it a little tighter after my first 4 reps.  This is a heavy lift doing it 40 times but all I have to do it just get it over with.  After all was said and done I completed the entire WOD at 9:31.  I was siked out of my mind because not only did I complete each of these moves I did finish under 10 minutes.  Now I have a time to beat this weekend.
