Did yesterday’s

A. 185, 185, 190, 195 (this was almost a max effort), 190

B. First time doing Karen. Have been avoiding it for years as I hate wall balls.

Did the 18, 17, 16 etc rep scheme. Every round was UB but probably took too long of breaks.

8:36

That’s a super strong effort on the squats! Great work pushing through Karen for the first time! I hadn’t ever done it before today either.
