Not all Mondays are bad

Growing Closer to Him

Scripture: Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. 

Reflection:  What a powerful verse for those of use who are having a case of the "Mondays".  I'm so thankful to be on this earth just one more day. Everyday, whether bad or good, is a day to love someone.  To let someone love you.  

One of the reasons I'm thankful for today

Duty:  It's the beginning of the week and the beginning of the new year is around the corner.  Lets pray right now to the Lord and thank him for this opportunity to be here on the earth.

Building the Temple

Since I'm at the firehouse today I didn't want to risk trying to get in two sessions today.  So I just did the evening training this morning.  The start of the training wasn't going as expected.  I wasn't getting into the positions of my oly lifts as smooth and fast as I'd wanted, thus causing me not to hit the numbers i projected.  Anyway, worked through it and hit a pr in my front squat and stayed below the 2:30mark on the metcon.  So all in all not a horrible day.  

A.  Snatch reps 3,2,1,3,2,1 increasing heavier on the second string rest 2min b//w
B.  Snatch Balance 3x3 rest 90sec
C.  Build to a heavy triple Clean dropping from top
D.  Front squat 3x1heavy
+
For Time :15, 12, 9
Clean 115#
Burpees

RESULTS
A. 155#, 175#, 185# felt like I was moving okay.  not fast but fast enough for these weights (if that makes sense) then 175#, 195# miss second rep, 205# missed then I did it again and got it. 
B.  155#, 175#, 175# dropped third rep.  mental breakdown(brain fart) and dropped it. def did not feel fast on this.
C.  255#x2, 265#x3, 275X2 tore my thumb pretty good. stopped here.  nasty tare(didn't have my thumbs taped) wont make that mistake again. 
D.  305#, 325#, 340# felt really easy so had to go for one more, 355# PR. video on FB.
METCON:
2:25, got a good forearm pump on this.  really wish i had tape on my thumbs and not a huge skin tare. I had to hold the bar "standard" no hookgrip, which in turn blasted my forearms.  Also on the last 3 reps of the cleans the bar almost came out of my hands.
