Pitiful Dead lifts...

Woke up pretty tired today, but sure glad it was Thursday because that's one more day closer to Friday! :)

I went in to the gym a little early to get my back squat strength in from Monday.
Back Squat:
5 @ 102
5 @ 117
5 @ 130
5 @ 142
5 @ 157

My hips and PSOAS were super tight today, so squatting felt kind of off today... Tried stretching it out and rolling on the ball, but I think it's going to take a lot of mobility to loosen them up. The other part that sucks about sitting at a desk all day! Aside from the tightness, the weight felt good. 5th rep on the last set was a bit of a struggle, but overall great.

Strength: Jerk
5 @ 77
5 @ 88
5 @ 98
5 @ 108
5 @ 119

We haven't worked on the Jerk in a long time. In the past this has been my least favorite lift, but today I felt pretty good with it. I felt like I was dropping under the bar really well and I didn't feel the pinching in my right shoulder like I tend to with the jerk. The last two sets were definitely heavy. I failed the 5th rep in the last set, my wrists just gave out. But aside from that rep, they all felt really good.

WOD:
7 rounds of:
7 Deadlifts (225/155)
7 Lateral Bar hops
5:46??

Disappointed is all I can say about this one...My DL's were awful. The first two rounds were touch and go and my back was set and felt great. Third round, I did three and had to drop the bar because I felt my back tense up and I started to get cautious. So I started doing single reps on out. I just felt my back getting tighter and tighter. It wasn't a pain or a pinch, it was just tight. For some reason every time there are heavier deads in a wod, this always happens. I worked with Chris after the wod to figure out what to do, so I'm going to have to practice with my form a little more. My butt tends to come up first, so I'm going to have to work on bringing my knees back. ugh. Super frustrating. Once I got frazzled, I lost track of what round I was on. So I'm not sure if I did 6 or 7 or 8 rounds. I did an extra round after my 5:46 time, focusing on my back. So who knows. Definitely not my best performance and my deads definitely need work!
