Sexy Squats (Good morning pivoting into back squat), Overhead Press, Overhead Squats

Strength

Romanian Deadlifts

5x2
Every 3 minutes on the 3 minutes

Romanian Deadlifts are an accessory exercise with the butt kept higher and pushed back more.  Legs have a slight bend and flare out as the weight is lowered.

I worked out with Brandon and did 135#, 185#, 185#, 205#, 205#

WOD

4 rounds of

15 Overhead Squats
12 Ball Slams
9 Push ups

Fitness was 75#, <25#, regular push-ups
Rx was 95#, 25#, ring push-ups

As I continue to struggle with my OH Squats, I opted to do the workout at 35#.  I used 10# for the slam ball and did ring push-ups.  I finished in 9:28 with a pretty steady effort.  After the first round I broke the squats into 9/6.  I could do unbroken ball slams.  For push-ups I went 5/4, 5/4, 4/3/2, and 3/3/3

Finished with mobility, squat against wall.
