285 (PR)

(2) 6 Rounds
2x Dead Lift @ 85% 1RM (245)
SAM - Shoulder Mobility Drill

(3) 5 Rounds
6x Bench Press (95 -- yes, benching is a weak spot for me)
Rope Climb
5x Y+L Shoulder Strength Mobility Exercise

(4) 5 Rounds
Lunge Lap holding kettlebells (5 lunges each leg)
Tire Drag (weighted with 70 lbs -- much more diffcult)
HUG - Hip Mobility Drill

Wednesday:
Warm Up: 5 Rounds
5x Burpees
3x Jeremy Special
Instep Stretch

Training:

Friday:
Warm Up: 4x Medicine Ball Complex with HUG stretch between each round

Training:
(1) 5 Rounds for Reps
60 seconds 25m sprint
60 seconds rest
41 (Phew. If I had failed to beat my last effort -- 40 -- I would have owed a sixth round. Mountain Athlete refers to this as "adding jeopardy." It works.)

**** rest 5 minutes *****

(2) 10 minute sandbag get up for reps (80lbs).
30. (Jeopardy applied to this as well. Thankfully, I easily eclipsed my last effort of 18. Which makes me think that I really mailed it in last time . . . .)

**** rest 5 minutes *****

(3) 8 Rounds
5x Scotty Bob (25lbs)
Rope Pull
7x Ring Dips (I used a band, because I am weak . . . for now.)
