Intensity

For time: 9:49

 95 pound Thruster, 100 reps

Pushing my intensity level and keeping myself moving is hard.  So I was trying for 8 minutes but when I saw everyone from the earlier classes and their time that was pretty much over.  But I talked with the coach and we discussed weight and keeping me moving and decided on 35lbs.  Problem came when I did a few before the WOD started and I felt like it was too light of weight.  Even though I knew after the first 20 or 30 it was going to get heavy I added 10lbs.  That 45lbs. lasted all of 20 thrusters and I was back at 35lbs.  No regrets though about trying the 45lbs.  Now, I know I can do it but in order to keep my intensity level up I'm not quite there yet.  But I will be one day!  I did at least 10 at a time and didn't stop for more than 10 seconds between each set. 

I'm struggling when it comes to pushing my intensity level I feel like I'm slacking off in form.  I didn't touch my butt to the ball half the time and I could feel my feet coming off the ground instead of my heels digging into the ground to keep me in the right position for a squat.  I need to find a balance between pushing my intensity level and doing the movement correctly and still keep myself moving.
