21-15-9 bw bench + pull ups (bw 168, went 155)

Time 9:55

takes you to a weird place training so late. my mind was willing so i kept trying to keep intentions set, figuring my body would follow. for the most part it did. there was a rack jerk series that i skipped, the mental acuity required was just not there. squat felt good overall, had to settle for bring them just to parallel, stiffness not allowing desired range of motion. The metcon was challenging, im not a good bencher and with the box being empty it really set the tone, either do it or eat a face full or bar. they went up at least as well as i could have expected, sets of 3 after the initial flurry. was planning on doing the pullups deadhang but at this hour, in this condition, kipping felt like a great idea.

Deads and Amrap

Deadlift 5 rep max -

275,315,335(dropped on 3rd)

No big suprises here. 315 went up well. had 335 but felt my back rounding big time and couldnt get my hips down for 2 reps in a row so i dropped it. feel i backed off in a good place, any more and i could have reignited a touchy back.

AMRAP 15 min

10 supine ring pullups
10 pushups
20 20# slamballs (subbed for rx CFFB: 10- 40# slams)

Those supine ring pullups are pretty difficult, and a good strength movement. glad I had some time put into them today. the pushups were very easy. 20 slamballs in a row was taxing but doable.
