I warmed up with 45, 95, 115 and 135.

Based on a 185# 1RM, I paired up with Rick and did the following

5x145
3x155
2x165 (89%)
3x155
8x135
8x135 (73%)

All of the sets were smooth and controlled.

Metcon

Metcon (Time)

Four rounds for time of:
50 Double-Unders
20 Dumbbell Push Presses (40/25 lb DBs)
20 Weighted Sit-Ups
*Dumbbell Push Press – Using two dumbbells, pressing both at the same time.

I scaled this to 100 single unders, 25# DB push press and unweighted sit-ups

R1 - 2:30
R2 - 5:30 (3:00)
R3 - 8:40 (3:10)
R4 - 11:48 (3:08)

I only missed a couple reps on the jump rope, otherwise they were unbroken.  The push press I did unbroken the first 2 rounds then 10/10, then 10/5/5.  The sit-ups were the worst and I broke them up from the get go.  The last two sets were 7/3/2/2/2/2/2.
