Failure is an option

10 minutes: Hang squat clean ladder complex
Perform 1 hang squat clean/drop, then 2/drop, then 3/drop, then 4/drop then 5/drop. repeat.

htfu weight was 155#. I started there, but pulled off 20# after the 4s reps. Too heavy. Especially heavy when catching the bar on the way down. A thumb bruiser for me.

I really struggled with this. But I also looked around the room. There were 16 people there and no one was using 155. Not sure why I assumed automatically that I had to go htfu. And clearly, it was the wrong choice. 135 felt better, but was still tough.
