Everything just felt good today.
I think I feel as good as I ever have and I dont know if its any one thing, or just a combination of several things, Paleo, some high quality supplements and good programming.
Paleo
So, we started a paleo challenge at the first of the month. I havent been 100% clean but I have been eating a lot more clean than usual. Plus, I went two weeks with no alcohol and have only had a couple tequilas since then.
Purepharma
I found an amazing product that I definitely think is playing a part in feeling so good. Its called Purepharma 3. It is an extremely high quality Omega3 fish oil as well as Vitaman D and magnesium. I have never workout so hard and felt so good over all. I really dont feel sore at all, not like I use to and I am sleeping great.
Blonyx
Blonyx is a HMB + Creatine. This is a new product to me and its really amazing. I definitely think it is a major contributor to the gains and PRs I have been getting. . Here is what they have to say on their website:

HMB is one of the most researched supplement ingredients proven to reduce muscle damage and speed muscle repair leading to faster recovery. Supplementing the diet with HMB will increase strength and metcon performance gains making you a better athlete
Progenex
I have been on this for years, but its perfect for immediately post WOD recovery. I think getting the right stuff as soon as the workout is over is important and helps with recovery and honestly, just tastes good!
Programming - CrossFit Invictus and Competitors Training are both my go-to for training along with CrossFit main site.
It kind of seems like a lot of stuff, but you are going to pay for things one way or the other. The fact is, you can pay for health or pay to get out of sickness. I would rather spend the money up front to get quality products that not only help you feel and perform better but help keep us healthy than to spend money on medication, doctors, and medical bill to try and over come the damage done to my body by crappy food and poor health choice.
All said and done, each product is about $60/month. I get about a month and a half out of a bag of Progenex and Blonyx. The Purepharma is a 30 day supply for $60.
Well worth it to feel great and be able to hit it hard 6-7 days in a row and even some times doubling up and doing two a day.

Snatch (full) 135#
9:32 - RX (kind of)
Well.... I was extremely happy with this turn out. 135# snatches have always been out of reach. I just know I have to scale. After hitting my old PR in the warm up, I felt like I could do this one RX. And sure enough, 135# is no long out of reach.
Only problem... I missed A REP! I failed two reps on the set of 9 and somehow lost count. So, my score is not official, I was 1 snatch short. but even though I missed a rep, I still feeling a new found confidence in snatch WODs.

After watching the video, my muscle ups need a lot of work. They are not smooth at all and Im wasting a lot of energy and time.
