5 x Push press (121#)
10 x K2E
Been doing bench for so long wanted to ease into my first push press day with a little light weight, higher volume, and focus on form.
Conditioning:
5 Rounds
Run 400m
15 x Squat clean (90#)
Definitely could go fast on this one (around 21 minutes), used the runs as an active recovery going pretty slow. Also could have gone after the squat cleans a little harder, having never done this many in a workout before even at this light of weight I was hesitant to kick it into the next gear.

Warm-up:
Jog 1 mile
2 x 800m moderate pace
Conditioning:
Light "Isabel"
30 Snatches 89#
(3 mins 54 secs)
5 minute break
Light "Grace"
30 Clean & Jerks 89#
(2 mins 59 secs)
So decided to go 6# lighter this time to focus the workout more on speed and skill of the movement than strength. It works with dropping over a minute on each from the last time I did a similar workout.
4 Rounds
Row 500m
Run 400m
2 minute break in between rounds
All rounds were between 4:08-4:10
While warming up at the track by my gym ran into a elderly gentlemen who was running laps as well. He told me he was visiting from Connecticut and stopped by the track to relive his memories of running track there 56 years ago. He was a really cool guy and in amazing shape for 72, I mean amazing. I just hope my passion and enthusiasm towards fitness endures as long as his.

Dropped the weight down pretty significantlly so that I could go faster and avoid breaking sets up as much as possible. Didn't time it on purpose, but I was able to keep moving through out with little rest. If I guessed it was still pretty slow though somewhere between 10-14 minutes.

So today was a rough piece. While box jumps felt good the weight on dead lifts felt much heavier and withing the first 25 pull ups and push ups the lactate acid in my arms felt like cement. Definitely time to rest incorporate some rest days in.

3 x Dead lift (244#)

Ended up finishing out the 6th round in about 21 mins 30 secs. Felt good, dead lifts felt heavy to the point I was pulling and dropping almost each one. Just didn't feel strong and it was the only way I felt I could keep good form. Used the row part to recover a little, other than that it was a pretty decent workout.
