It’s nice not having to leave the house with this weather. Garage didn’t want to warm up this afternoon though. It was about -11° outside with the windchill.

The notes said these are really difficult so I figured I didn’t need to plan any conditioning work for the day. 240 thrusters would be plenty! Boy… was I right.
I thought I was being conservative starting with 20 pounds, but after the first arm took 2 minutes I knew 1) I had to go faster and 2) this was going to get real nasty. It’s a bit of a balance because the faster you go, the more the weight wants to drift, causing you to use more muscles to keep it stable.
I did my left arm first each time and went with 20-25-30-35 pounds. Rested about 2, 3, and 4 minutes between weights. My shoulders are going to feel this one.
