OCT 3 & 4- 20/20/20- 20 min AMRAP "DT"

20 min AMRAP
20 Thrusters 135
20 pull-ups
20 burpees

4rds +18 thrusters

I am a little disappointed with this one. I did 2 rds in 7:30, it took 10:30 to do the next 2 rds and in the remaining 2 minutes of the workout I only got 18 Thrusters.  About halfway in I was ahead of where I expected but I let up too much and couldn't get back up to speed.  I had a goal to get through the pull-ups into rd 5. I felt pretty crappy at the end though.


I=9 Thrusters and burpees hurt last few minutes didn't have much left.
C=7 Lost it a little after the 2nd rd, I planned to make my rest time a little longer but I ended up resting longer than I should have.
E=9 almost put this as an 8 but I felt like crap at the end so I think it might have been more conditioning and concentration less effort based.


"DT"

5:32
I feel Ok about this considering I did 98 Thrusters at 135 the day before. Getting warmed up I could tell my shoulders weren't 100%.
I paced it pretty well not going balls to the wall from the start.
I did a rd and rested until the clock got :50 on that minute. I kept this for the first 3 rds and took a few extra going into rd 4 and 5.

 I screwed up on the last rd trying to do the 9 hc + 6 sto. I got through the 9hc and ended up dropping the bar before doing any STO. I think had my shoulders been fresh I could have pushed through the 6 STO.  Either way its about a :10 PR.
I think I could go sub 5:00 on a good day.

I= 8 Fast paced, last 2 rds were hard tried to take minimal rest
C=9 game plan worked but after I dropped the bar on the last set I took :20 of rest and probably could have gotten away with :10 of rest.
E= 9 I did everything right with the exception of the extra rest at the end based on how I was feeling. The main thing holding me back from going sub 5:00 was just the workout from yesterday.

If you could take a look at my STO. I have gotten into the habit of dropping the bar from overhead pretty quick and immediately bouncing it out of the front rack overhead. I feel like this  helps at a moderate load but wanted to get your thoughts. I have seen Pat Barber and a few other athletes do this also but was unsure if I should try to change it.
