Tall jerks-65-75
SJ x2 up to 195
DL-155/180/210/225/255 felt super strong!
GG condt- 6:50 I scaled to 145 because of 8 min cap…figured the goal was to get through the work in the timeframe? no? My OHS has taken a sec to feel nice and strong again.
Then I got through one rd of the next part and had to leave. Will try to get back to gym later by myself … ?

A. Tall Jerks done.
B. 235/245/255/265/275/285/295/305F/305F/305
(Frustrated with the block height and got me all flustered. Kept hitting the blocks on my right side. Knew before I started as I got heavier this would be an issue and I was to lazy to change them out.)
C. 280/340/395/425/505
A. GG
Finished 21/15 in 5:46, only got 2 reps on OHS and lost one standing up. Very eager to work on these heavy OHS in WODs. Keep them coming.
B. 26:50 – 7″ deficit.

No desire to re rack any heavier today

Swings were by far the hardest. I don’t feel like I do them often and then when I do it’s always 100+ lol. Pretty happy with toes to bar 8/8/7/7 every round even with grip shot after the swings.

Some accessory done.

How can it kill your grip going forward? It should be a harnessed drag? but yes the drag backward should be quads and hamstrings.

Oh ok! I wondered if I was doing it wrong! I wasn’t harnessed. I held a rope attached to the sled with each hand and dragged it that way. Oops
