Wasn't too sure how the press part was going to go -- I was instructed to work up to the heaviest weight I could put up by the 5th set and finish the rest at that weight. I think I underestimated my press+push press combo. The last set almost didn't go up, and probably 105 should have been the weight I used for sets 5-8.
Brooke and Jonathan were my workout buddies for tonight and the 3 of us decided collectively that the thruster/burpee workout did indeed suck major sweaty balls. Also, I'm walking really funny right now....
