Squats felt like a Herculean effort but I got it. Hell fuckin' yeah!

Metcon was slowed by pull-ups as usual. Just cannot string together my kips (not that I spend much time working on them). But I'll chalk this up as a victory since they were all unassisted.

Metcon was one big bag o' hurt. Another one that looked OK "on paper". Programmed rest was a big help and allowed me to go all out for the duration. Only broke once on the final set of burpees.
