Mind there, body not

Warm-up:
back squat
shoulder press
snatch balance

10-5-5-5-5 overhead squat (45,65,95,105,115)

7x3 shoulder press (75,85,3x90,2x75)
4x5 front squat (95,115,135,155)
3x10 plate swing (25,35,35# plates)

2x1:30 front plank

Very fatigued today, too sick for a metcon, so I tried some lifting. A few of the presses turned into marathon battles where the bar hovered above my forehead for what seemed like minutes; ended up wiping me out. At least the front squats felt good, A2A & torso was nice and straight.

Plate swings (Figure 8 from Bartonietz et al., 1997), which I did with extension over and behind the head (you can catch a video of it here):

Glad to see you're not still feeling ill. I guess beer did the trick, eh?

Yes, the beer helped alot, especially paired with the Dayquil.

Not well enough for a metcon, but maybe by Tues or Wed.

Oh, Scott, I forgot to say that your mention of my post count spurred me to action as well. Couldn't let you catch me, could I?

No, I suppose not. I've been nine behind Kenway for as long as I can remember. I'd worry more about him catching you than me :)
