    165lbs...and it wasn't pretty.

    Also Sandy and I decided to see what it was like jumping up at 4:52 and out the door at 5:10 (not our choosing but a new record for us)...only to find out Sam got up at like 5:05 and Sheena (the undisputed Champion) hit the floor at 5:08 and both got there about the same time we did. We concede.

    all 5 sets @ 95# and it was tough! i'm blaming it on not having my usual 8 minutes to prepare at home! ;)

    Given the timing of this WOD with arrival of the baby, I guess you could say... Baby got Back!(squat)

    Congratulations Ryan and Halle!

    This was my first time to back squat outside of the safety rack. Kinda scary! - like the first time you ride a bike without training wheels. Glad it went well!
