Karen Sunday

It was so much fun having Melanie and Chris at my gym! Thanks for coming, guys!

Squat warm ups, then 5 at 85, 4 at 95, 5 at 95. Form looked good.
OHP - held 70 pounds tried to push, held 65 pounds, then did 3X5 at 55 lbs

PC (apparently, I had been doing DL then reverse curls. Chris showed me the right technique.)
3x5 @ 65

Mel - I am sorry you are sick. Ms. Bee is feverish today, Heather P is sick too.

For Sam's benefit, I'm certain the climbing before WL was limiting Karen's squat, etc. 95# for 5 looked good. We adjusted her grip width out a little, and moved the bar a little lower.
Karen - think about it this way - would you do a climbing WO after lifting for an hour? I think you will see faster strength gains if you split WO days. Also, you were doing hang cleans. If you want to PC from the floor at the current weight, you could try putting the weight up on blocks (or bumper plates laid on the floor) to where the bar height is the same as if you were using 45# plates.

Thanks K-ron. It was sooo fun working out with you at your gym. I like the idea of marching around the entire climbing gym with those plates over our heads next time instead of just the weight area.
