Warm up to 175lbs; 185lbs;  195lbs;  205lbs;  215lbs;  225lbs; - I attempted 235 once and just missed it.  I added 5lbs and tried to PR at 240.  THe weight felt good I was so close.  I know that I will get this weight soon.  I was stoked about this.

20 Thruster @ 155lbs
20 C2B Pull-Ups

+
Open Workout 13.5 ( If you don't make it through the 1st round rest exactly 12 min and repeat)
82;  52 - This didn't feel good.  On the first go my thrusters felt good.  It was my C2B on the last set that got me, my breathing was getting to me as well.  I was gassed after.  I was exhausted starting the 2nd workout.  My body just felt like it didn't have anything left in it to push, my breathing was getting painful on the 1st set of C2B as well.  I've had drainage the past several mornings, the weather has been crazy changing around here lately, alot of folks are getting the crud.  Thats no excuse that workout just got me.
