Warm-up:
dynamic stretching
Burgener warm-up

3x5 low-bar back squat (45x5, 95x5, 135x3, 185x2 then 205/215/225 x5)

5 rounds of:
5 L-pullups
5 shoulder press (65#)
KL: 5:18

3x15 bench press (45, 65, 85)

Squats felt surprisingly solid tonight, good drive from the legs. A bit of slowing at 225 but not too much. L-pullups were my downfall on the metcon: managed to strain an abdominal despite breaking up the reps into 2s and 3s. More core work obviously needed.

What's with the benching at high reps/low weight? Balance?

Mostly just wanted to cool down with a little non-posterior chain work. Also trying to gain a little stability in the shoulders without overloading them (old rotator cuff issues).

Was only going to do a set of 15 or so, but couldn't remember the right weight so went up for a few sets.
