Overhead Squat

  • 5 @ 20kg
  • 5 @ 25kg
  • 5 @ 30kg
  • 5 @ 35 kg

Then for time perform 21-15-9 of the following:

  • Sandbag Thrusters @ 25kg (could also sub dumbells @ 12kg each hand)
  • Toes to Bar

Result:  35kg Overhead Squat is a new PR and 1/2 body weight!  Could have done more but decided to stop while I was ahead.   For the METCON part finished in 6:30.  First round did the T2B unbroken which might also be a PR.
