65# 5x13 +10 to finish. The squat rack at gym was not available so I had to do this in open which is bit dangerous. I began with 75# as Rxed but quickly realized that I was having trouble doing 1 rep, never mind 75 reps. Since part of the wod was the stamina aspect, I scaled down to 65# which was just about perfect (bit on heavier side). Most of the snatches ended with shoulder presses which is less than ideal. I have never done power snatch before, I think, so I had to learn proper technique on the fly. Late in the wod, I realized that the trick is not to lift the bar from ground but push knees back (as Coach Burgener says). This somehow makes the whole motion more natural. I still had trouble keeping bar close to body. There is something inherently scary about taking weight on top of head while exausted. Overall a great well rounded workout. 0 20 10 10 30 20 0 10 0 0

I scaled front squats all the way down from 185# to 95# as I still have trouble with proper form/flexibility with front squat and I did not want to do front squats with bad form. I managed to get full depth on all squats though I had to break each set into 3 subsets. I figured out a great technique to do GHD at my globo gym by using back support on one of the machines. Those were reasonable good subs. I was surprised at how quickly HR raises to 165+ range while doing multiple reps of front squats. I didnt realize it at the time but my thighs were burning for three full days after this workout. It was pretty bad but no injury per se. I do however remember the few scary moments where on the bottom most part of the squats, it would feel like the legs would give up on me and start shivering. Pretty hardcore. I cannot believe the Rxed weight is 185#. 10 20 20 20 10 10 0 0 10 0
