Dragging Butt to Olympic Lifting Class Workout

It was one of those nights: the weather has turned a bit dreary and I really had to drag myself back down to the gym. As always, so glad that I did.

225 lbs*

*This actually is higher than 75% because I was having one of those nights where it was too much energy to figure out how to put 215 lbs on the bar. I stared at the plates for about 45 seconds and then turned to my buddy Bob and said “Fuck it. We’re doing 225.” We figured the extra 10 lbs was our punishment for being too lazy to do math.
