If 325x5 a few weeks ago was easier than I expected, then 335x5 today was harder than expected. No, not really. But it was HARD: eyes were totally bloodshot by rep 3, I was taking 5-8 deep breaths between reps 3, 4, and 5, I got stuck about 1/3 of the way up on rep 5 and I was a little worried I wasn’t going to make it. But I did!

I’m confident in the percentage work based on a 335 TM, so I’ll go with that for the next leader.

It was raining pretty hard this morning, so I skipped throws but did some extra jumps. Did some assistance moves between squat warm-ups, and I finished out the remainder after the top set, including today’s daily work. All of that was fine, but those were some of the slowest burpees I’ve done in a long, long time. HR was up and both my mind and my body were shot by that time, but I made it thorough.

Time to rest and recover for overhead press tomorrow.
