A. Standing SA DB Strict Press: Find a 5RM/side - Rest to full recovery b/t sides.

60lbs for each side - I didn't have a 65lb dumbbell, but I'd guess my right side would be about there. I tried a 70lb dumbbell and got two reps on my right. But when I tried my left arm I only got 1/4 of a rep before my shoulder just stopped working. Not like I was pressing but didn't have the strength, it just stopped working

20.1 Progressions:
8min EMOM:
Odd: 10 Power Snatch
Even: 12 BFB
rest 4min
x2 TOTAL SETS

I did the first EMOM as written and had to sell my soul to finish it. I split the PS into 5/5 for the first 3 rounds of those, then 5/2/1/1/1 on the last minute. Technically, I failed the last set of BFB. After that I had to rest far more than 4min before attempting the second EMOM. For the second, I scaled to 8 PS and 10 BFB. For the first three rounds of the PS I split them into 4/4, while on the last round I did 4/1/1/1/1. 

We need to have a talk if this is how the progressions are gonna go. This is fundamentally not something I'm capable of doing as written, no matter how hard I push myself. Even with scaling it back, I'm not sure I'd be able to repeat the efforts with 4min rest. I do not want to be bombing out or constantly thinking 'well, I can't do that so how am I gonna scale it' because that's frankly not how I want to spend the precious little time I have left to train. I also just shouldn't have to scale this or any other progression to the point I'm concerned I'm even getting out of it what you're intending
