AMRAP 7 minutes

7 Push Presses (185/125 lb.)
18 Deadlifts

NOTE: The Open continues this week. Good or bad, forget about last week and be ready to attack whatever gets thrown at us this time. It is important to remain focused on our goal each week of performing our best on the Open workouts and letting that remain our central focus over the next weeks of training.

***This means if we are feeling really sore we should intentionally hold back (think 80% effort) on today’s workout so we can perform our best on Friday. If we are feeling good then get after it, but remember, stay focused on the goal!

Mental Restoration:
Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.
