Three firsts for me,
1) 155# push press for 2
2) 115# for met-con push press (I’ve never done any met-con higher than 95#)
and, strangely,
3) met *another* Charles Wharton who was attending the 7pm intro workout. Alas, no DeLorean’s in sight or apparent family connections, but still a pretty good Tuesday night.
Today was supposed to be a rest day but how could I skip when pictured in the blog for the second day in a row? And now with a rough metcon tomorrow which might actually help loosen up… maybe rest just won’t happen any time soon.

Great job, Charles, both on the 2 rep and using 115# for a tough metcon! Looked like you were getting a lot more out of the dip and drive tonight than in the past; I expect that if you continue in that direction you’ll blow that number away soon enough, too!
Yes, great job, Charles!

I hit two reps at 113 for the push press and one rep at 123… Did the MetCon at 83 with Tammy and I think I miscounted when giving Tom my final score. I believe I actually got 7 full rounds as opposed to 8.
I PRed at 88# with 2 solid reps, which felt great! Almost got up 93#, probably was not rested/focused on my try, but I feel that I can break that barrier next time maybe!

On the metcon I used 63#, felt really consistent and solid in the first two rounds, and struggled a bit on the 3rd (nothing surprising). BUT on the 4th round it was like someone hit me with a tranq dart! I had very little muscle control and got pretty sloppy. Ugh. I got 7 rounds, no thanks to round 4. I even had to scale my very last round of KB swings to Russian style because I was scared I would drop it on my head.
