Still very sore from last nights squat. I guess that's what I get from not squatting in awhile. Taking Friday off so I decided to workout tonight. Probably not a good idea. Knees hurt and I guess I should admit I am just getting older and need more re-coup time. Workout: 1000m row 5 snatches @ 165 800m row 4 snatches 600m row 3 snatches 400m row 2 snatches 200m row 1 snatch Time: around 26 minutes. Had to wait on a rower several times... Day after and everything is sore. No way I can do 14.2 today (OHS and CTB pullups). Hoping I am okay for Saturday.

Day 5 of no energy drinks.  I have been pseudo Paleo for over a year now and lost about 40 pounds but haven't been able to kick the energy drinks (specifically Full Throttle). 
Decent day of training but wish I could train more than once per day.  Frustrating seeing others make gains while I seemingly stand still. Still happy to see friends make gains and kill workouts though... This open season has really made me want to train more for next year.

Strength:
10 min EMOM of 3 back squats at 70% max (275#)

Workout:
9 minute AMRAP
3-6-9-12-15... and so on of
hang power cleans at 135#
hand release push ups
Score: 21 rounds + 2 hang cleans

Felt better today.  Strength was light.  Push Press then split jerks at 225.  Nice and easy.  Worked on technique.  Still recovering from back injury. Muscle ups felt really good.  Been working on them.  Sets were 5-5-3-3-2-2.  Burpees just kept moving small rest at the top.  Need to ensure lock out at the top of push jerk.

Starting this blog for myself in order to track my training towards the Masters 2015 Crossfit Games.  The 2014 Open just started and I know I am not ready yet.  14.1 arrived and i totally bombed it on Friday then re-did on Sunday with a better score but not really wanting to do it again.  305 is okay at this point.  I think I could have gotten more reps but I really don't want to do the workout more than twice.  Tonight I felt okay.  A little winded but okay.  The workout was:
Power Cleans
5 rounds 5 reps EMOM at 185 (touch and go)
-Rest 1 minute-
5 rounds 3 reps EMOM at 205 (touch and go)
-Rest 1 minute-
5 rounds 1 rep every :30 at 245
-Rest exactly 3 minutes THEN-
30-25-20-15-10-5
Wall Balls
Toes to Bar
