Suck it HSPUs!

Yesterday I woke up pretty tired. I'm really lacking in getting the amount of rest I need. My schedule is just so hectic, but it'll be worth it in the end! I was pretty sore from the last two days of training and was contemplating taking a rest day. I probably should have the way it went...

Strength: Back Squat: 8-8-6-6 (65%-70%-80%-85%)
8(123#)-8(133#)-6(153#)-5(163#)

Going into this my hips have been super tight. The bottom of the squat is just really tight and it's hard to drive out of the hole. 123 felt like 180! The sets definitely didn't seem to get any easier even though I spent time between sets stretching out my hips. I really need to start doing a TON more mobility on my hips. I failed the last rep on the final set of 6, got half way up and just couldn't go any further. I can't wait till we start running some more and get my hips opened again, all the rowing and squatting is making them so tight!

WOD:
15:00 AMRAP
3 HSPU
6 SDHP (85/55)
9 Goblet Squats (53/35)

a measley 3 rounds plus one rep. I'm actually extremly embarrassed to post what I got...

So the last year and a half or so I've been training HSPU on the band and I haven't made much progress. I went from green/green to green/blue. But I haven't felt any stronger. So it was decided at the gym, that no one can use bands anymore. It's up against the wall with some plates, or knees up on a box. My hatred for Jerks has been replaced by HSPU.

I pulled an Alex last night and threw a complete temper tantrum over HSPUs. I was able to crank out the first 2 and then I couldn't get that last freaking 3rd rep. I would lose all tightness in my core and just either get half way up, not get anywhere or just plop. I started with slamming the ab mat. Next round I screamed fuck! and the last I yelled, started to cry and just said fuck it with 30 seconds left in the workout. Seriously...15:00 and that's how far I got. Pretty freaking pathetic. I've got a lot of work to do. So practicing tripods and kipping at home it is...

I went upstairs with 30 seconds left on the clock and rowed a 2K, since I didn't get a workout in. blah.

Onto the next WOD.
