250 Triple!!!

Not gonna lie...I was a little sluggish all day! Helen really worked me over so I'm a lot sorer than I thought I would be. My shoulders, lats, and forearms were really tight. Being this stiff I was little worried about tonight's SWOD heading to the gym.

SWOD
OHS --- 3-3-3-3-3 (Find a 3RM)
bar(5)-95(5)-135(3) --- 155 - 175 - 195 - 215 - 225 - 250
- Got to the gym a little (story of my life). Took the usual 20-30 minute stretch routine to get loose enough to feel comfortable to lift. With that warm up comes the usual razzing from everyone else about the length of my warm up. Once the blood got flowing I got pretty greased up and was moving a lot easier than I thought I would. Shoulders and wrists held up great and kept surprising me every time I upped the weight. So far, Stable Boy (Brandon) had the top score of the day at 210#. Started low at 155 and just kept gradually chipping away. Every weight increase got smoother and smoother, at the same time it kept feeling lighter and lighter! Initially I was gonna call it at 225, but it felt way too easy. I thought about going up to 235-240. Again..GO BIG or GO HOME...if I was gonna do 240# I might as well make it an even 250#...it just sounds better! Got under it and it felt every bit of 250#. Focused on initiating with the hip and driving the knees out. Lost my mid-line a bit on the 2nd rep (actually thought I missed the depth, which is why I attempted a 4th rep), but was able to recover and get a third. Attempted a 4th, but failed. I was very happy to see the video after and realize that my 2nd rep was low enough for sure.

My previous OHS 1RM was 250# back in the beginning of August.

Great night at Prevail! Saw some huge PRs all around!
