Regionals are upon us!

Next week is go time....there have been many C2B pull-ups, WBs, DB snatches, pistols, rowing, thrusters, burpee muscle-ups, squat cleans rope climbs and all the other fun movements I'll get to complete at the MidAtlantic Regional next weekend in Landover, Maryland.

I'm feeling better than I can ever recall physically, mentally and emotionally.  I feel very well prepared, supported and look forward to what I'll learn from this challenge.

Deadlift EMOM TNG x 3



Start at185, add 5lbs each min
250, 255, 260, 265, no go at 270lbs

TnG Power clean 165lbs x 3



This felt really good, but my mind wasn't ready to get 170lbs as you can see...

OHS PR 155lbs

up 5lbs

Thruster/MU

5-1
Thrusters @ 100lbs
Muscles-ups

Got through all ub.  MUs feeling better and better.  I can still be intimidated by "heavy" thrusters.  I had to keep reminding myself to just pick up the bar already.  In time I'll learn.

The best part of this video is my sweet, entertaining mother.  She comes into the frame to ask me a question and I give her the "Mom, I'm doing a workout" look.  She hangs out to support and doesn't know she is on camera.  Check out her dance moves at the 1:57 mark.  :)

Love you Mom!

Hang squat clean 165lbs

This ties my PR from the hang.


Squat clean 170lbs

This is a home gym training PR.  Meaning I've done more at OPT and/or in competition settings, but I have more zip & pop then so I was happy to hit this on an evening by myself.
