There is no time component to this WOD. Increase loads with each completed set. You are not allowed to rack the bar or set the bar down on the ground during a set – this would terminate the effort as a failed attempt.
Post thoughts and loads to “comments”.
Fun workout (do I get fined for saying that?).

All Good today…miss thrusters..wanna try some of those “manmakers” and flip some tires soon!!!
Ouch, Dave. I come AT LEAST twice a week. Nice job on the muscle up. And you’re right: i do need to come a bit more often. I am just busy with school and working in the evenings.
Good work, Stephanie! I went up to 65 but could not manage the strict press. I would like to work on that; maybe should have gone higher with the push jerks… another day.
Also did that horrible run/jumprope/burpee thing yesterday but had to cut it off because of an asthma attack
nearly passed out at minute 22 and decided finishing off the burpees at ever-slowing pace was not worth it. Learned more about inhalers.
105-115-120-125-130 (125) failed on the push press at 130, so went back to 125 for the whole final round. I have done 130 before though, I guess I was just tired.
135, 140-failed, 140 ok, 145-failed on 2nd pj, 140 ok, 145-failed on first rep.
Nice wod. Kind of like wrestling like gravity.
