A. Done ~12:00
B. Done from ground, no rack space. 175/175/185/185/195/205/215/215. Jerks felt smooth
C. Scaled 135/165/185/205. (2:10 / 2:12 / 2:11 / 3:26). Row at 1400ish took ~50s every round. Last rd was just super heavy…had to split jerk and take some long breaks. Probably should have scaled more to get appropriate stimulus :/
D. Done w/ 100#
E. Done

Fun day. Moving well after getting some body work done over the wkend and focusing on recovery post open. Ready for the wk!
