Power Clean (135#)
Lateral Bar Hops
Rest 90 seconds

100 Sit-ups
Rest 60 seconds

Row 250m

(9 mins 48 secs)

So I thought I was just going to power through this with by first ten power cleans being touch and go. Then came the realization that 135# is actually pretty heavy for me being near my body weight, muscle fatigue kicked in and each one after that was a struggle. Fought through the rest of them until I got to the sit ups where I was able to pick up the pace. Good practice with almost hitting muscle failure early in the workout and still pushing through it.

Row 5k (23 mins 05 secs)
