3×2 Back Squat, across
A: 2:42. This was my slowest Isabel time recorded. I have usually been under 2:20. However, this week has been a lot of volume, my shoulders and traps are both smoked.
B: 145-165-175X3. This is still an exercise I am trying to get comfortable doing.
C: 255. Got to parallel for each rep, need to improve comfort with heavier back squats.

A: Power Snatch
Every other minute on the minute x 8 (15min):
3 Touch-and-Go Power Snatches
Notes: Start at about 50% (of your best power snatch) and work up to a heavy load across the 8 sets.
65-85-105-115-125-135-135-140lb. The last set was 3x press-outs, but still made all lifts.

50 Double-Unders
5 Deadlifts
40 Double-Unders
3 Deadlifts
30 Double-Unders
2 Deadlifts
20 Double-Unders
1 Deadlift
10 Double-Unders
Notes: Today's Deadlift in the metcon is meant to be a heavy stimulus, so scale accordingly and use upward of 80% of your 1RM. These will be done unbroken on the fast end, but breaking them up quickly is appropriate if you have trouble organizing touch-and-go reps at high loads. In either case, be sure to keep a neutral spine and load the hips on the decent if performing touch-and-go reps. The scaling option for dubs is 2x singles.
Used 235lb for the deadlift. Time was 4:55 with 2:1 singles.
