    Back Squats

    20 DU’s
    Time 13:39

    Did first 2 rounds @ 85#, but was finding it heavy to jerk overhead. Intended to drop the weight to 75# for remaining rounds, but was actually 65#, because I had a 35# bar. Then I realized after my 3rd round that I should have been doing 20 DU’s each round (not 3,6,9), so made up for the missed DU’s in the 4th round. All round, this WOD was a giant cluster @%%*# for me.

  43. Heather S

    Don’t you wish you had a Games judge every day to keep this stuff straight during the WOD!?!
