I felt really sluggish after a night of being wasted. I didn't get to take a recovery nap during the day. Instead I watched Dredd with Alice and Gambit after eating a burger at Claim Jumper. I definitely wanted to hit the gym tonight because I after this WOD I am caught up and up to date with The Embed Blog.

Notes
- Part I: After YouTube-ing the tutorial on how to properly do the OH Press, I'm actually embarrassed of my 'jerk' motion I put into my movement. So I can't really talk shit with my cousin's results which was 2/145# with probably perfect technique. I still feel the kink in my right wrist from just the presses. Hand goes numb but oh well haha
- Part II: I am also a fan of the EMOM work. It gives me a chance to work on parts of the movements with every round. I tried my hardest to create a straight line when pulling the bar up. Looking for critique and comments!
- Part III: I'm actually glad I recorded my failure at the 2nd rep @ 185#. I realized my split jerk needs a lot of work and I need to even out my legs at the burst movement. I was pretty proud of the 185#
- Part IV: After reading my cousin's comments on this part of the WOD, I made sure I took a good pace for my rows... and yes the pistols hurt like a bitch. Even if it was a couple of reps.
- Part V: T2B technique needs to improve. I don't really don't straighten my arms during the reps and I feel like my body is a little too far forward and I should be using more core to bring my body towards the bar. I'm so mad the KBS weight was 70#. I was definitely not expecting that weight to feel so heavy after the whole WOD. Looking forward to repping that in sets in future WODs. Those hurt. No recorded video for these because there were people around haha
