A) 135# for all because last time they were really hard, they felt great this week though so next time I’ll go heavier
B) only had time for 3 rounds and did it as prescribed. It took me 30:45 and I probadly should have scaled the thruster weight because those crushed me… Hopefully next time I can finish it so I don’t feel like such a slacker ?

Back squats done at 355.

Bridges.
31:52

This was really hard today. I did this a couple years back. There was a cap posted. I think I got 3 rounds back then at the cap. I thought 25 minutes was a realistic goal but I was wrong. I don’t know what happened. I know the Burpees were very slow and thrusters were 3 sets most of the rounds.
