This was a rough one.  I could feel how tough it was only during the push press / pull-ups.  For several hours and really for the rest of the day I was drained.  Surprisingly difficult.  This was the first time we have done the push press / pull-ups.  Daniels creation today.  Loved these but hated them.  We moved the safety bars up.  The bar was just low enough to get off the rack.  1 rep was a push-press, rack the bar, then lift feet and complete a pull-up on same bar.  This hammered me.  Second round I struggled to get the bar to the rack.  Crazy because this is a very manageable weight.  By round three I would shake my arms out after each set and on.  This helped.  I also was finishing the PP up on my toes so I was guaranteed to rack the bar.  Might try these as a thruster element one day.
