5x135, 5x155, 4x165, 4x165. Practicing racking the weight on my shoulders. A weird feeling, given that I usually hold the weight out from my shoulders so as to make sure I don't clip my chin. Ever since that time I did it, I can't get it out of my head.

WOD with 30# DB presses: 14:36. That was a shoulder and tricep beatdown.

This was my fifth time doing this workout. About a 10 minute PR from when I first attempted it Rx 3 years ago, and a 3:10 PR from December. I think I've finally figured it out.

If there is a mess on the gym floor tomorrow morning it's my fault. My shoulders exploded.

Push presses: 4@93, 4@98, 4@103, 4@ 108.

First time doing high volume HSPU- done with one ab mat ( next time losing the ab mat), everything else Rx.

23:46

Then this jerk Andrew bangs it out completely while I'm doing my last round. He's lucky I like him.

Also, congrats to Shea and Amy, I am so happy for you guys. I even got a little misty eyed when I saw the pick on the blog for tmrw. U guys should've gotten married at barbell club.

This WOD was weird. Felt pretty good on my HSPUs in the round of 21. Ring dips were tough but I grinded them out. Figured, okay only 21 push ups and I can move on to the next round.

Wrong. I got on the ground and could barely push myself up. Every push up was a struggle. And every single rep after that was pain.

But I got it done. (Some of those HSPUs were questionable...)

Thanks to Bradley for pushing me on this and Cristy for cheering me on during the last round.

Team Branson again this am. Push presses smooth. 5@95, 5@115, 5@135, 4@145, 5@145 time to get heaveh!

Wod as Rx except for the sloppy hspu on the last set. Holy smack! 15:36

Congratulations coach Shea! Congratulations miss Amy! Celebrate best friends getting married. It is how it should be done. All the best.
