145-205-185 side and rear delts,band pushdowns, reverse band curls

 This went ok but actually thought it would go better. I thought I should be able to 1) stick at least one 205 and get two. I missed a bunch but still was very self conscious about the set up and actually did feel the tricep on one of the warmups

In retrospect I was rushing the setup and taking too much weight on my arms as I stood up instead of 

1) setting the arch while spotting X slowly

2) Then rotating upper arm under the bar.

This unweights the arm on unracking but  but still lets me 'get under' it properly

But I was over focused on not tweaking my arm and it cost me power. Plus, not enough focus on stiff legs and ended up with too much knee bend 

BUT I handled a lot of decently heavy reps well

35 lb ruck ( macV2 boots) 5.21 miles

 Decided to switch back to the GoRuck MacV2 boots and have to say they do indeed feel better. the 13 mm heel to toe drop is definitely more ...
