I haven’t worked out in a week because of a big project at work and other things complicating my life, so tonight’s WOD was looking good as I really like clean and jerks.

…and that was after we did heavy squats.
This was my 3rd time doing the Russian Squat Challenge. This time it was 2 set of 2 reps at my 1 rep max of 225lbs. Some of the younger guys were going all out for the squat, but I’ve got to pace myself. I might have gone [...]
