A)125/165/185/155/165
B)worked at 105
C) ran out of time to complete whole thing. Did 20-10 cals…I cannot do more than a single MU so I did them slightly assisted to do sets of 3-5 thru the whole thing. Currently not cleared for HsPU, l-seated shoulder to overhead sets of 5.

A. 117.5/125/142.5/117.5/125Kg x 6
B. 70Kg across all. Felt decent today; a bit rusty on the first few but I think that’s just from being the beginning of the week.
C. Scaled this; too much shoulder volume and don’t want to risk injury. Row(no bikes), C2B PUs, and HSPU on 36” box.
D. Done using BB good mornings, Vups, and KBs.

B. 75/80/85/90
C. Time-capped in the round of 4, but first time doing deficit SHSPU (15lb plates). Woo! Also scaled to 3 muscle-ups each round, and that’s a perfect number for me right now – doable, but definitely challenging towards the end. MU also felt decent tonight

Peachy…
Started strong, shoulders got tired, tried to keep moving without burning out.

Kipping or strict with no deficit would have been nice…
