I also did a few presses with the 44 lb., a few turkish get ups with the 35 lb., and a set of double front squats with the 53's. They are…

I'm going out this evening, so I thought I would log my day now :).

I then proceeded to do only 8 for the remaining 90 seconds. Sheesh :-P. I then started on my right side and my back seized. I made it 30 seconds in on that side and 6 presses before I had to…
