    Strength:
    3-3-2-2-1-1 Front Squat
    135-185-195-225-245-250(F)
    245 was my previous 2rm. Maybe an off day, or due to having worked a 12 hour shift prior to doing the work.

    Metcon:
    Every minute, on the minute, 8 minutes (500m row penalty for each unfinished round).

    1500m row penalty (5 rounds finished, 3 unfinished).

    Notes:
    This WOD was brutal. Thrusters are still a weakness of mine, but this feels like a lot of front squats to finish in one minute. The rounds I finished, I only finished with 5 seconds or so to rest.

    1500m row was finished in about 7:20. Good distance to work on my technique, row felt good.

    Clean Complex:
    4x 1

    ^Had to stop after two sets because I tweaked my right shoulder on the jerks and this movement made it worse. Tried lower weights ...no go either.
