  1. super fun wod!
    paige & i rx’ed the weight but used an abmat for the HSPU (which i still consider rx’ed :)) and finished in 23:35.

  2. 22:37 with the increased reps for a 3 man team. Thanks to Steve and nick for pushing me to do the 225 lb dead lift. The 2k row was a nice twist.

    1. Hey Mike.. great job on those DLs. I know that 185# was your previous max so you really kicked some butt pulling off 20x 225# today. Great way to get a massive PR.
