Friday- 07/01/11- Testing- 28 days til Cali
For time- 25 shoulder to overhead @ 70% of 1RM, 50 burpees- 12:02 with 165#, s2o took just under 10 min, hardest part was getting weight from front to back rack, bruised top of spine pretty good. Trying to look for the positive in my performance, but very frustrated with this one. Need alot of work with shoulder mobility and getting confident splitting out instead of trying to press the weight. On the bright side, the burpees only took 2 min after all those s2o.
