No real work out this week and for many reasons my body was exhausted.  Bench went well other than the first set of 225.  Something felt wrong all over so I racked it and got focused for the next sets.
Workout was pretty solid.  I did enjoy the elements and flow.  Daniel wanted to go heavy on the Turkish get-ups at 60lbs dumbbell.  I really struggled here.  Getting that thing to move was awful.  On the descent it would send me to the floor, rolling back to my shoulders with legs flying up in the air to slow that thing down.  My mid back got tight by second round during the box jumps.  Never hurt just got tight.  Had me nervous but it never progressed.  I really struggle doing fast reps these days.  The med ball box jump burpees were hard to fire fast on.  I can only assume as sign of age.  I am happy where I am right now at 42 years old but I have started to notice some changes while working out.
