Sounds like it died off a bit at the end for your pull ups. Keep trying to fight through at this point of the workout. Nice job all the way up to this point. You were on a pace for an awesome time.

A: 195-265. Had more in me which is great because power cleans have felt awful along with the power jerks after front squats and jerks which is what we normally do.
B: 315/365 felt solid.
C: 3:58 came off rower 1:43, dubs 30/70. Messed up in beginning. 2:44. Quick 10’s. My heart rate was jacked so if I did a big set I knew I wouldn’t be able to maintain anything after it.
D complete.

Session 2:
A: 5’s on Muscle ups and BMU’s
B: gymnastics in AM
C: power hungry 83 cals

Get on that mobility Tyler. 285lb. is there if you spend that extra 10 minutes per day working on those shoulders. Nice work going sub 4 minutes on the conditioning.
