Overhead squats. The idea was to get as many reps in three attempts at the highest % of body weight as possible as your score.

115x9
135x5
170x1

170, while a new PR, left me feeling like I could have gone up more. I failed on the 2nd rep as I was already out of the bottom position. My wrist/hand position failed on the left and the bar came back a few inches prompting me to bail.

The higher weight overhead makes me assume I have the strength to snatch nearly as much and it's coming down to a technique deficiency. Practice practice practice.
