Close Grip Bench Press
5-5-5 Tempo 21x1 
155, 185, 205 (4)

Stayed true to the tempo and that crap ate me up the last round.  I might have been able to squeak out one more to get to five, but I was in the gym by myself and I have been pinned under a weight for an extended amount of time in the past and it is not a whole lot of fun.

Snatch (Full)
10 x 1 @ 75% of 1 RM
Begin a rep every 0:45
145 lbs.

I am committed to improving my snatch this year.  I made huge improvements last year and this is the year to seal the deal.  I am going to work on moving my grip in a little so my contact point is a tad lower.  Right now, it is the top of hip bones, almost to my belly button.  Also, I am going to work on not jumping my feet out quite as wide on the catch.

I had mixed results during this exercise, but it started to click a little the last 3 or so reps.

CTB Pull-Ups
3 x AMRAP
20, 21, 20

I rested about 4:00 between attempts.  The first set was all butterfly.  I should I have stayed on the bar and kipped out some more.  I did this on the second attempt and I was able to get five additional reps when my butterfly went the way of the dodo.  The third attempt was 15 butterfly and 5 kipping.

By this time next year, I would really like to be able to get 35-40 unbroken.  Tall order.

Rowing
3 x 500m @ 0:02 seconds faster than best 5k pace
Rest 2:00 between sets
Pace 1:51

This felt really good.  I was able to keep the pace required at 24 SPM.
