7000 lbs. Ground to Overhead

Finally back at the box after at least a week off.  Rest I believe is a good thing but I'm not looking to repeat long absences from the box.

Tonight's WOD was 7000 lbs ground to overhead.  I had a few options on what I could have done here (75#, 95#, 135# or 155#).  I ended up warming up and while I could get 135# up pretty easy I felt that I would be completely gassed having to do 52 reps.  Instead I went the path of 95# and had to do 74 reps.  What was fun is that I snatched all but 1 rep.

The weight is never the problem.  It's the cardio that I have (or lack thereof).  I started out in sets of 5 then dropped to sets of 1 or 2 or 3 depending upon how I felt.  I did see that just dropping the weight was a big help because I was using zero muscles on the way down.

Total time - 18:28.  Not my best showing but one that I can work with.
