Mobility done.
Weighted PU up to 40lbs 3reps each round.
A. Shoulders not feeling good, did a few snatch balances and stopped.
B. Skipped
C. Done. AB 11 to 13 cal/round; HSPU to 1 ab-mat, decreasing reps each round, shoulders really jacked; burpee/T2B went fine. First 3 round of AB were 80-85 rpm, last 4 were ~75 rpm, this was good for me as I usually drop down to 65-70.

Hi Tino – sorry, I didn’t know how to see replies to comments! I have been seeing a chiro/ART doc for a while – it’s just wonkety. I have hyper mobile shoulders and have been having issues for months – although it is getting better.
