A. Did a EMOM style till it got heavy.
2 x EM
75, 95, 115, 135, 155, 175, 195, 215, 225, 235, 255 ( f) too big of a jump and couldn’t budge it without bad form so called it a day. Steel plates always feel WAY heavier then Bumper to me.

B RX – 5 + 15

Way to go strict! Def smart to recognize DL form breakdown and abort, still solid numbers – and thx for the sep reference… metcon seemed really familiar but, memory of a goldfish…

A. Deadlifts 5 sets of training 1 rep max from last week. My form has gotten sloppy and I wanted to work on that today since I missed it.
All sets at 305. That went up well each time.

Similar series of rack pulls and hold for 5-10 seconds at 395.

B. Rx 4+10
