Don’t be scared to make it hurt a little on those thrusters. Consistency is good but on something like this I think you’re selling yourself short!

I almost fell over when I seen 56, then realized it was total and not the first set. 25 is still a solid opening set!

Don’t be scared to push those thrusters a little more. Consistency is good but with no drop off means you could have pushed a little harder. Make it hurt a little 🙂

Primary strength. B. Worked up to 115 lbs, 92% but failed the second snatch (bailed back) C. Squats were tough today after doing Wednesday’s conditioning yesterday. Those deadlifts….
