Performed squats with a 30# vest and 30# DBs in lieu of thrusters. Best round was 6 (and the last few of those 6 weren't pretty).
Up to four sets of 75# on the overhead squats, before my form went the way of the post-All Star break '78 Red Sox*

* OK, OK... for those of you who were infants or toddlers in '78 (that probably goes for you, Neal, but not you, Nigel)..the Sox had a 14-game lead over the Yanks at the All-Star break, only to see that lead gradually erode,leading to a one-time divisional playoff game at Fenway, in which Bucky Dent did some damage. Yanks went on to win the World Series that year.
Unfortunately my strained leg muscles kept me out of the competition today. Neal, that masochist, thought I would enjoy Tabata pull-ups, push-ups, & sit-ups instead. Thankfully I'm a sadist. So he was right! My worst rounds were 3 pull-ups, 7 push-ups, & 7 sit-ups.
DB Thrusters w/ 55# Variations from 2-4 reps, God those things are cumbersome.
Worked up to 145 (PR Snatch) on the overhead squats. Could have gone up squat wise but was stopped by a lingering ADE (Acute Dodgeball Elbow) issue affecting lockout. -Will

Thor, I wasn't even conceived in 1978. LOL!!!

I'm starting to think Plato, or is it plateau, is my middle name.
Except for Friday's truly stellar performance in Cindy, I would suggest that my lackluster showing today is worthy of a newbie.
40#, lowest rep was...............................................................................................................4.
Oh, and thanks for including me in the Crossfit AARP crew, Thor. I owe you one.

You could put on ten pounds of muscle just doing tabata thrusters and OHSs.
