You’re setting yourself up for the years to come and doing the right thing. Its always fun to breathe hard and feel humbled by a conditioning piece once every so often 🙂

Short and sweet today. Got quality work in
A.
250/265/280 (only miss was second jerk of set 5)
B. Skipped. Legs are smoked
Primary Condo
This more challenging than expected. All was good until last round. Went over on row about 3 secs. Bike went over about 10 seconds and ring muscle ups took about 20 extras secs after a near death experience on the rings.

I was able to get my mind right and go after it… I went out of order mostly because I wanted to prioritize intensity as Tino said 🙂 1. 2(1front squat + 1 jerk) <~correct? 145/155/165 – no idea where my maxes are these days but these were heavy 2. Primary conditioning- surprised I was able to complete this! I was worried about the muscle ups and the bike – I had to break up the muscle ups- endurance on these puppies is… Read more »
