    front squat: 95, 105, 117, 105, 117, 127
    wod: 3 rds (jumping muscle ups that turned into attempts…probably should have done ring dips/pull ups but not enough low rings)

  6. 135#
    135, 155, 175, 155, 175, 195

  10. Jerk complex: 70 kg x 4, 74 kg x 2
    Front squats: 80 kg –> 94 kg
    WOD: 4 rounds + 3 (rings and bar muscle-ups)

  11. Jerk complex. Is that like a Napolean complex? If so, that’s easy for me:

    135# strict press to behind the head strict press to push press progressing to push presses throughout in the later rounds. No jerks, aside from joe who called me lazy for not doing the squat portion. He forgot about my dry rotted hamstring.

    WOD: 5 rds plus 3 ring pullups. I did MU the first round but set the rings too high to do jumping MU as I got tired so transitioned to ring pullups and ring dips for rounds 2 – 5. Hollow rock instead of the candelabra.

    Lastly: everyone tune in to NASCAR Friday and Saturday night as I will be skydiving into Richmond International Raceway about 7:20 ish. I’ll be the first guy landing trailing smoke and hopefully not wiping out in front of 120k on site and millions watching around the world!
