Thanksgiving lift

What a great way to start off the day!
I am definitely thankful for my health and the health of my family.  I'm also thankful for my awesome weight equipment!!

Today's plan was a bit odd.  I forgot to do the A2 exercise.  A1 (the front box squats) had timed rests, so I didn't think to alternate in the other exercises.  Oops!  Next time.

The snatch grip rack pulls were new to me, too.  I thought I could lift as much as a regular deadlift.  Nope!  Ego checked :)  For some reason, it's harder to start the bar moving at that height (at the bottom edge of my knee cap).
