Conditioning:
55 X Wall Balls
45 X Bar Facing Burpees
35 x Toes 2 Bar
25 x Deadlift (245#)
(19 mins 30 secs)
So the good news is the shoulder held up through the toes 2 bars, still not 100% for sure with kipping but was good to try the movement out. Lower back is a little tight still from early in the week and it was a challenge to maintain form through the deadlifts.

Strength:
Deadlift 5 - 5 - 3 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 1
135 - 185 - 223 - 253 - 273 - 293 - 313(F) - 308(F)
So thinking I could have got 308 up but the form was horrible and didn't want to risk injury.
Conditioning:
5 Rounds
5 x Deadlift (228#)
10 x Burpees
(7 mins 03 secs)
The deadlifts were rough on the lower back so had to go a bit slower than I would like.

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight (225)
Bench Press: body weight (150)
Power clean: 3/4 body weight (115)
(26 mins 46 secs)
So pretty big improvement from last time I did this workout. I owe a lot of it to the work on my cleans, the hip thrust is starting to feel more natural and I felt a lot more fluid in the movement which allowed me to jump right back into the deadlifts. A bit of a stressful day and needed to move some weight.

Strength:
Deadlift Congo
135 - 155 - 185 - 225 - 225 - 250 - 275 - 250 - 275 - 250

Back Squat 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5
135 - 165 - 185 - 185 - 185
with
3 x 10 Back Extensions to loosen the back up.

Conditioning:
200 Singles
50 Bar Hopping Burppes
25 Front Squats (135#)
Run 150m every 2 minutes.
So probably my biggest weakness is that I rest, rest a lot. This workout was almost no rest and I felt like I was going to die. Anyways that sucked. I am going to put a little blame on this one on the all night study session followed by a early morning study session fueled by an insane amount of coffee.
Strength:
Floor Press 30 - 20 -10
115 - 135(18) - 145
then
3 Rounds
20 x KB Swings (55#)
10 x Hand Stand Push Ups
After the floor presses the hand stand push ups were insanely hard. Broke them up like crazy but got through them. Need to learn how to kip.

5 Rounds
12 x Deadlift
9 x Hang Power Clean
6 x Jerk
So 3 Rounds + 20 reps at 115#, a pretty pathetic performance today. Guarantee I'll do this workout with more weight and do much better next time. I'm just physically and emotionally drained right now. Also shoulder held up on the jerks, so at least that's good.

10 Minutes:

75 Jumping Lunges
AMRAP Wall Climbs in remaining time
Strength:
Deadlift 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
225 - 255 - 275 - 295 - 305(PR)
So figured this was a good workout to come back and test the shoulder, did the wall climbs but stopped before going parallel. The jumping lunges got real fun about way through. Shoulder is still not 100% but it's getting there.
As for the strength I know that doing the same thing two days in a row is not smart but I was convinced that 315 was going up. The problem was the lower back was tight and everything felt a little harder then yesterday. Still I"ll take by 2# PR. I'll also be taking some time off from trying a one rep max again.

Deadlift 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
223 - 253 - 273 - 293 - 303(PR)
So another conditioning with a focus on resting the hurt shoulder. While feeling better I'm not trying to push it. The box jumps are a huge weakness so it was good practice. As for the strength I knew my previous PR was soft but it was nice to finally break 300 for the first time. Definitely feel like I could put up more and aiming for 315 soon. Generally just feeling stronger and fitter.

2 x Back Squat (205#)
1 Round every 3 1/2 minutes, wanted to add a little weightlifting to the interval training. 400m pace was at or below 1:40, but on a treadmill. I was thinking through the first five rounds that this was too easy, that feeling quickly left during rounds 6, 7, and 8.

Really my fault for not practicing them and assuming they would just naturally come along during the workout. Still a good workout and everything else felt good.

Bench Press: body weight (150)

My weight fluctuates between 150-155 so might have gone slightly light.
(31 mins 3 secs)
So felt like working deadlifts and bench today and figured instead of a strength workout why not just do Linda. Pretty happy with how everything felt, I did this in January around three minutes slower. Going faster was great but the biggest difference is that last time I did this I felt wrecked after, actually feeling pretty decent considering I just moved 27,005 pounds of weight. Still will be taking it easy the next few days.

So under 7 minutes on the mile was happening until I gave in to the mental suck and stopped twice on the last straight away on Prospect. Stupid that I gave in. Anyways at least I know I have it in me. Pretty happy about the the PR on back squats 235 is my 1RM and I think that might have gone up three times today.
