I'm still shocked at how much the Catalyst Athletics programming has improved my CrossFitting in just a few months. I have a long way to go before my cardiovascular system has caught back up to where it used to be, but the extra strength and proficiency in the C&J still pushed me to a new PR.

CrossFit - 29Jan (pm)

Pre:

Overhead Squats
145 x 15

This was terrible today. Really struggled starting at rep 8. Hopefully, it's just general fatigue and I'll bounce back once my body stabilizes.

"Grace"

30 reps, Clean and Jerk 135-lbs (anyhow workout)

This time I did power cleans instead of squat cleans. Broke it up into sets of 5.

Really rough day at work today - busted my ass for 12 hours straight in the sun. I just feel really tired and cranky now. I think it's a combination of the lack of sleep, different work schedule, and sugar withdrawals. Hopefully, I'll be able to rest up and come back recharged after my 2 days off.

Time: 6:50
