WOD
15min Double Under practice was able to stay more calm and complete sets of 10-12. Still a bit pike-y but MUCH better. Realized the more pike-y I get, the faster I try to jump. Also, concentrating on keeping my chest up has helped.

High Bar Back Squat
Set 1: 12 @75% 145
Set 2: 10 @80% 150
Set 3: 9 @80% 150
Set 4: 8 @85% 160
Realized that I am engaging my hips more like a low-bar back squat. Chest is still staying up simply because the bar is high on my back. Worked the last two sets concentrating on knees out vs. hips back. Noah watched a few sets, mentioned the same about my hip engagement. Also mentioned I might need more ankle mobility. Which leads me to not heavy lifting when I have limited time - I only rested about 1-2min btwn sets and did 2-3mins mobility before lifting. Need much more rest and mob time.

3 Rounds:
15 GHD sit-ups, rest 1 min These were fine, a little sore the next day but nothing bad.
3-6 RDL @ 31x1, rest 1 min set 1: 65#, Set 2: 95, Set 3: 125 should have started heavier, these were relatively easy until my last set
3, 4sec handstand negative, rest 1 min worked on bringing knees down at end of negative

ANALYSIS
Working on technique, getting better about getting under the bar.  I enjoy these technique days - lighter weight and really pushing myself to nail the smaller details.  Specifically, trying to focus on planting my front foot - not landing on my toes.  This WOD was a ball buster. Halfway through, dying to stop but couldn't. This reminded me of the marathon where walking hurt more than running - I knew if I stopped I wouldn't be to start back up.  As soon as I stopped, the burn set in. Man-makers... DAMN. Nasty sub for handstand push-ups.
