This is why.
Dude, when I’m “moving fast”, it’s 90 seconds rest between sets. You need to rest enough so that you can recover to perform.

To make sure we’re on the same page, I did a set of OHP, rested 45 sec, did rows, rested 45 sec and so on. After set three of OHP, I started going a minute between each.
I take 90 seconds from the time I do the rows to start the presses. Heart rate is still going to be up after 45 seconds. I will drop it down to 60 seconds if the weight is really light or I really want to make the set challenging.

Do you do press, row, rest or is there more rest between the press and rows?
I considered doing it that way, but decided to split the rest evenly between each set. But in hindsight, presses have a prescribed weight and rows don’t. I guess I’ll put all 90 sec between rows and presses.
Thanks for helping me figure this out.

I go straight from the press to the rows. I’ve actually taken to taking the press from the floor, finishing the set, dropping the bar and going straight to the rows from there, then resting and starting the whole thing all over again. And yeah: I worry less about weight and performance on rows and more about just getting in the stretch and contraction.
Always happy to share my perspective dude!

I forget these days that you had a shoulder problem

Shoulders feel pretty good. My right one is still tight from the biceps tendon repair, but it’s holding up well. I find that the BTN presses are a completely different exercise compared to traditional OHP. For the standard press, I have my pinky or ring finger on the rings and my elbows are in front of me. For BTN, my index finger is on the rings and my elbows can go wide. That feel like it hits my delts better.

Notes: workout felt pretty darn good. I threw in Wendler’s recommended assistance that I’ll be doing with Beefcake and I like it. I’ll do dips when I’m at the work gym since they have two dip stations. If I’m at home then I’ll do push ups.

The workout was done around 1:30 hours. It’s currently 6pm and the DOMS is setting in. The high part of my right hamstring and inner thigh (possibly the gracilis) almost feel strained. It’s going to be a rough couple of days.

I guess I never thought about stating it explicitly, but this is how I do all my supersets, straight from one exercise to the next, and THEN rest. It just seems to flow well that way.

Running already sucks, you decided to do it in Chucks ?! 
Impulsive decision. I had Chucks, lifting shoes, or boots. The part of treadmill running that makes me want to stop is my calves. I think I’ll leave the Incline at 0 next time.

Rocky had a pro record of 58 and 23, which is pretty terrible. No idea if wearing chucks played a part, but it definitely did.

I’v run and did my Crossfit in Chucks for years, still do my Crossfit with them. There is definitely worse
That’s some good deadlifting here…
It’s a little known fact that they gave him the statue due to his volunteer work with bipolar orphans.
He did adopt a lot of animals and volunteer his time at the pet store.
What a guy
