OHS three rep max PR, conditioning afterwards

So we worked on OHS three reps, and I absolutely love this lift. Back in February my 1 rep max was 175, so I made that my three rep max goal. Sadly, time ran out before I could get there. However, I did manage to get in three reps of 170, so that's a PR.

I think my approach was helpful today, in that I took small steps, upping it only 10#s at a time, then 5#s for the 170. I did it without really a problem, so I'm excited for the next time. Last time my issue was being able to hold up that much weight with my shoulders, but Monday I was able to jerk up and maintain 170 without too much trouble.

The met con was ridiculously brutal, tons of rowing, dumbbell hang cleans, and burbees. I did the most reps listed at 3, but it was ridiculous.

Coaching performance was meh. I was having a hard time finding things to point out to work on. Seemed like everyone was hitting depth, keeping active shoulder, and maintaining a tight core. It simply seemed like the only thing for improvement was practice, and that's what was going on.
