Comments: Cut the overheads short today because my wrists were absolutely killing me at the higher weights. Since I am not able to dump weight, every time I brought it back down it was completely crushing them, so I decided to stop going for the higher weight and did a practice 15 rep with 90#, versus the 100# which I am hoping to do soon. It was tough but definately doable and gave me some confidence for the 15 reps.

The run left me absolutely trashed. I was both pleased and surprised at keeping them all at 30 or below, and my rests were 2:30, in which I jogged a 200m and rested the remaining time. Halfway through I took an extra 2 minutes to gather myself, which helped.

My upper hamstrings and adductors are still very sore from the lunges 2 days ago, which made warming up kinda tough. Other than that my middle back and shoulders are a little sore but nothing too bad. Tomorrow will be a longer slower recovery run.
