what did you pull today Rambo?

couldn’t make it today; still recovering from last week’s major illness. i did find my max a couple of weeks ago, but apparently didn’t record it b/c now i can’t find it. i do remember it was 5 lbs less than the pr kk pulled that day. 275-ish? — does that sound right?

ah, found it. 265 after doing that clean-and-jerk / sit-up wod. my notes reflect a back that was rapidly losing function… (nice to read i limited that comment to my back only.)
