Daniel did this the other day when I was sick except with power clean at I think 165lbs. I avoid PC with my back so when he and I talked we figured thrusters would be the best sub. I felt awesome yesterday but only being one day out of sick I did not do this. Today I now have a runny nose and slight head cold type symptoms. What the heck! I wanted to do this one today hoping that I would have the steam and this might push this yuck through my system. I posted 3 to 5 rounds on the board to remind me to evaluate realistically how far I should push. During round 3 I seemed to speed up and talked my self into round 4. Daniel showed up at the end of round 3 and hung around for the final 2 rounds. Thanks brother. He told me I would negative split again on the last round and with him in my head and right by me I got it done. I was slipping into another place during that last round, man I was hurting. Glad I talked myself in to round 4 and Daniel showing up and telling me I was doing 5!!!!!!! That is what brothers are for. Took me to the edge. Interestingly having done heavy thrusters a few times in the last few months I felt great with these. The rest was key and starting each round made a difference too. I rolled through them and actually did the last round of these faster than the other rounds with no pauses just repped the out. Happy there too.
