Washington's Strongest Apple 3 weeks out

Yoke walk 80'

up to 660 for 1 run

My yoke still sucks but I got it done. Sadly this is a pr.... Can't wait to use a good yoke on PAVEMENT it will feel so much easier. It always does.

 I've really turned this event into a strength when it was a weakness. I am real happy with it!

Log clean and press each rep

Just threw 205 on it and did 12 in 60 seconds mostly 1 motion. Wasn't too hard
