Every 2 minutes, for 4 minutes (2 sets) of:
Strict Press x 8 reps @ 80% - 80#

These were good weights and I was able to maintain good form.  Against a 1 RM of 115 it was a little light at 70%

Metcon

Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
300/250 Meter Row
20 Single-Arm Dumbbell Push Presses (10 each; 50/35 lb DB)
20 Box Step-Overs with DB Goblet Hold (24″/20″; 50/35 lb DB)

I scaled this to 35# dumbbell and 20" box.  The row and push presses were fine.  The box step overs were tough.  I finished the first round in 4:00, the second round in 4:30 and I managed 8 of the 20 box step overs at the 12:00 mark.  Total 2 Rounds + 29 reps.
