"Amanda"
9-7-5 for time:
Ring Muscle-ups
Squat Snatch @ 135lb
Results:
Did not attempt due to the pain in my traps and rhomboid in the center of my back.  Feel a burning sensation and lots of pain in this area and it gets worse doing snatch and OHS.

One of the toughest workouts to date.  Wasn't feeling great going in and during the workout.  Got winded quick and didn't recover well during.

AMRAP Squat Clean @ 225lb in 10 minutes - goal is 15 reps

Results:
15 Reps; Although I failed 2 reps in the middle I am excited about the results.  Both failed reps were not being able to come up out of the squat.  I did 1 rep every 30 sec for the first 3 min then failed 2 reps, took a 45 sec break then was able to continue 1 rep every 30-40 sec.  Overall felt good and comfortable!

Overhead Squat, 1 RM
+
15,12,9 for time:
Power Clean @ 115lb

Results:
OHS: 165#; My traps/rhomboids have been extremely sore for about two months now.  It hurt pretty bad to keep the weight over head today.
 
Power Clean/Burpee- 2:47(PR); Extremely happy with this result!

2 MU's
4 HSPU
8 KBS - 32kg
*Goal is 15+ rds
 
Results:
13 Rounds + 1 KB Swing (PR by over 3 rounds)
 
Got a PR, but wasn't feeling great during workout.  I think I ate too close to the workout and felt a little pukie throughout.  Muscle ups were all singles and easy.  HSPU were unbroken after the first 4 rounds, was coming off the wall in the first couple of rounds.  KB swings unbroken and easy.

30 minute Run @ 50%

Complete

Thursday, April 4th

Open 13.5

Result:
76 Reps

C2B was the limiter.  Unbroken through 2nd set of thrusters, then C2B went 7/10/13/15.  Next round of thrusters went 5/8/10/12/15.

Felt like I gave it my all but C2B definitely took more out of me then regular pull-ups.
