5x5 OHS
SS 5x85
KL 85, 95, 105, 115 (failed 4th rep), 115 (failed 4th rep)

7x3 back squat
SS 185 (failed 2nd rep), 155, 155 (failed 2nd rep), 4x135
KL 7x185

Renegade row (15# dumbell) ladder
SS 8 sets
KL 7 sets

Back to squats, which we've ignored for a while now. OHS felt stronger balance wise, wrists started hurting at the heavier weight. I love the overhead squat - it's so deceptively taxing and it forces you to be perfect on your form.

Much more tired for the back squat than I imagined, mostly felt like back was feeling the OHS work. As Scott noted, it was very hard to get out of the hole. Keeping the weight lower and working on form felt great though, mostly getting all the way down and watching the back on the drive.

Who doesn't love the OHS?

As hard as it is for me to hold heavy weights up here, I can't imagine doing the 30 snatches in Isabel...

no kidding. I just figured out what a snatch was yesterday. Well done with Isobel.
