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.
