Lungs weren’t the limiting factor today, tends to be the case on shoulder day cause these puny little guys don’t have much energy to them.

That assistance work was a burner. Three stations for 90s of work, and then 30s rest before starting again. I had to drop weight to make it through the rounds without letting the DBs down, but I did rest them in the rack position for a couple breaths as needed.

Tabata Z press is awful, mostly because my hip flexors were screaming at me to get out of that position. I stacked 5s on the bar so I could slide a pair off during the 10s rest as needed to keep the reps up. Tough on the shoulders but I just couldn’t stay focused due to the hips.
