KL: 145, 150, 155, 160(f), 155, 155, 155

First time doing ME thrusters, it feels entirely different than metcon thrusters. The key part, explosiveness coming out of the squat, is hard to perfect without practice - at lighter weights you don't have to hit it perfectly. With heavy weights if you're slow or off with your timing, you either end up pressing or dropping the weight. Jerked reps 5 and 6 a little.

Huh, so it's weird but I can't edit posts from home, but I can edit them here. Possible reasons for that?

Sometimes you have to sign in again (icon in the very upper right hand of the browser pane) in order to see the edit icon.
