Thoughts/Feelings:
First time really dedicating work on the Kipping HSPU - got a better feel for them at the end.  Still don't see this as a viable option until totally fatigued on strict HSPU but hopefully I'll continue to get better at them.  Toes-to-Bar were great today, all unbroken and easy, did sets of 8.  Negatives on the HSPU were awesome - I think these will really help me build up that stability through the movement.


PM Training session was surprising - Cleans were going up well, I pulled 270 really high, but 265 went up fairly easy and felt strong.  I didn't feel very awake going into the session, but came around.  The metcon was nasty - Squat Cleans really take it out of me for some reason, just super taxing to move through that large of a range of motion for me.  Snatches were easy, burpees of course sucked.  Had a great dinner afterwards with Kitty - Lots of steak, home made Caesar and some Sweet Potato fries.  See how long I am able to continue with this log.
