Presses, aborted met con

Press 5x5
65, 65, 65, 70, 75(x4)

Met con: 3 rounds
10 jerks/presses *
15 med ball cleans (20#)
15 pull-ups

Time: 12:06

* Started off doing jerks (75#), but my calf was bothering me, so I switched to presses (45#)
R1: 10 jerks
R2: 3 jerks, 7 presses
R3: 10 presses

Rx'd jerks were much heavier, but my shoulder was feeling funny so I dropped down to 75#.
Broad jumps were rx'd instead of med ball cleans, but I wanted to spare my calf.
