Full house at the Box this morning...great to see so many members going at it so hard...anyway decent night sleep last night as it was my night off...Cup of coffee to get me going and off to the Box.

Squat Clean Thrusters @ 125,135,140,140,145

All felt good today...Tempo held me back some I tried to go heavier on the first set of Push Presses, but I felt my form going..I ended up starting to lite, but I worked my way up and I'll be ready for the next time.  Thrusters were heavy..the first two rounds I got done with no break after that I had to drop the bar and reset each one...Legs were tired at the end with the run in between...
