“Upside Down Cindy” The warm-up was, as it has been recently, wicked.  I didn’t think much of it until my forearms started to burn half way through.  It was 30 seconds of work & 30 seconds of rest of 5 hang cleans, 5 thrusters, 5 snatches, and 5 overhead squats (all with the 45# bar).  A few rounds in they said we couldn’t rest the bar on our backs and had to hold it at our waist.  Talk about getting the heart rate up! As for the actual WOD, I felt like I made it through this workout a lot better than some of the other recent workouts.  I felt like I rested less and worked more.  I had contemplated going up to 135 on the push press but after talking to a few of the stronger guys, I opted not to.  Looking back, I think that was the right call but in the back of my mind I know I could have handled 135. This turned out to be an awesome all body workout. 10 2/3 rounds @ RX. Post-WOD I hit the rower and managed to sneak in a quick PR on my 500m row with a time of 1:39.  In my log book, there are various level testing requirements and I want to start going through those as another self-measurement tool.
