If you're having trouble motivating yourself to get into the gym, eat quality food, get reasonable amounts of sleep, etc. realize that this is the easiest time of the year to slack off. Without even trying, you'll be in the same boat as millions of other people during this soft spot between Thanksgiving and Christmas as you make excuses: it's too cold, I'm too busy, I have too much work to do, I'll start up again after New Years. So how badly do you want it? If you want to be successful as badly as you want to breath oxygen, you'll find a way to get to the gym.
AMRAP until the trainer says stop
3 power snatch 115#
6 toes to bar
9 wall ball 20# 10' target
8 rounds
Interesting format b/c you basically need to go balls to the wall the entire time otherwise you'll feel like an asshole if you pace yourself for a 20 min AMRAP and it ends up being a 5 min AMRAP. My guess is we went for 10-12 minutes. Wish I had gone a little harder, still need to work on wall balls a lot. One cue that really helped on the toes to bar was to aggressively swing your feet down after touching the bar, which seems counter intuitive b/c when you're doing kipping pullups you basically let gravity pull you down. I think focusing on pulling your feet down after touching the bar with your toes helps get you in a good position at the bottom with your shoulders forward of the bar without letting you swing out of control at the bottom, thus preventing you from stringing a billion toes to bar together.
