All week long, my training has been high on volume and high in intensity. This is the big build up over the next few weeks to get as much as possible out of each training session. I've done all of the regional workouts for the individual men's division, minus 50 reps of the KB Swings and Overhead Squats, and it has definitely left me in an absolutely demolished physical state. Exactly as I would feel during a weekend long competition. I did the 1K Run, 30 HSPU's and 1K Row Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon I did the 21-15-9 315# Deadlift and 30" Box Jump workout. I got a nice deep gash in my shin from a missed box jump doing this workout. Wednesday morning I did the 100's, minus 50 KB Swings and 50 Overhead Squats, followed by a run time trial at noon and finally, a 20 minute AMRAP in the evening. Single day Thursday. Rest Friday. Max Thruster Saturday morning, followed by "Amanda." That was the first time I've Squat Snatched 135# for 21 reps...ever. I had a great sense of accomplishment for completing that workout. Lastly, I did the "Chipper" Sunday morning.

Good stuff. Had some PR's during the week. Mostly, I feel that this past week will go a long way in getting me in top shape for July. I just wish I had gotten the license plate number of that truck that ran me over.
