No conditioning today. Shoulders were on fire and lack of recovery I didn’t feel good after attempting a BMU. Rest until Monday.

7.5lbs Clean & Jerk PR @ 295lbs.

16.5 minutes on the metcon.
Stopped after the first 4 Bar MU in the 285 round.

-Hit all the 265lbs Cleans, which for how tired I was, was very happy with. No way I was hitting 285lbs after all that.

Really tough day. Learning lesson to not try and add anything and just stick with program. Clean and push press up to 215 because I suck at jerks and can push press almost as much as I jerk.
