Went again to CrossFit Mindset to train with my friend Robin. Still feeling weak, but happy to be back at it. I feel like I'm starting over. My lifts feel so weak, my engine feels crappy. I kind of "went through the motions" today - 100% effort was just getting through the program. I see the light, though. Good news, first day not feeling sick. I'm excited to get a couple of weeks under my belt and hopefully my strength will come back!

A. Squat Clean; build to a 1RM 

• Felt totally limited by Front Squat strength. I hit #185 easy. I got #195 in the hole twice, bar flew high, caught fast, just couldn't stand up with it today. Previously hit #195 easy about 2 weeks ago. PR is #200.

B. Front Squat; build to a 1RM

• #135, 155, 175, 195, 205 - failed at 215 (Previous PR #235)

3 Sets:

250m Row

15 KB (1.5) 

25 Burpees

15 KBS

250m Row

Rest 12 minutes between sets

SET 1: 6:48 / SET 2: 7:45 / SET 3: 7:40

I know this was supposed to be at 100% effort. As I said, my 100% effort was not quitting after 1st round. The KB was heavy for met today (did sets of 5), obviously slow burpees, etc.
