This was a good workout to come back to after a few days on the road but 70% really felt light for the sets of 3. Even really emphasizing the pause my group ended up bumping up the weight on our last set and then again in a bonus round (you earn these by finishing strength workouts quickly). Ended up being more like 80% of my theoretical 1RM and still felt good.

Then a quick metcon where – as I have been assured many times – you can do anything for 2 minutes. Except wall balls. Normally I use a 16 and that has started to feel decent but I ended up with a 20 and started missing the line and/or wall on most throws again. I guess that was a necessary step but it doesn’t make it any more pleasant.
