Conditioning:
"Linda"
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight (228)
Bench Press: body weight (155)
Power clean: 3/4 body weight (116)
(28 mins 50 secs)
So this is apparently my new go to workout when I want to dead lift and bench but don't want to do sets. Everything felt good except the bar I was using for dead lifts was a bit slippery and I had to chalk it up. I actually thought I was going pretty slow and was surprised a little with breaking 30 minutes. Thinking next time I'm going to go for it and see how fast I can get through this.

Conditioning:
4 Rounds
Run 400m
10 x Push Ups
Row 500m
10 x KB Swings (50#)
then
Row 20 Minutes
then
20 Minutes
Odd Minute - 12 x KB Swings (50#)
Even Minute - 10 x Burpee
So this may seem like a lot but the truth is I was going very slow for the first two portions as I was watching the Oregon Ducks football game while working out. The last part was a little outside of the comfort range but good for skill work. The burpees are coming in the open and the KBs were competition style to get myself use to the movement. Still in the scheme of things a relatively easy day.

Strength:
Hang Power Clean 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
135 - 145 - 155 - 165 - 175(f) - 175(PR) - 185(f) - 185(f)
Conditioning:
10 Minute AMRAP
2 x HPC (140#)
4 x Box Jump (36 inches)
8 x KB Swing (70#)
(5 Rounds)
Happy with the PR even though I think more was possible. My form felt like crap and I felt like I had no explosion or ability to move my body with any coordination. With that said it's nice to have a 10# PR when your feeling less than stellar. The bright point of the workout was the 36 inch box jumps, got talked into it by the coach and while I probably expended way too much energy on each jump trying to make sure I didn't miss and wipe out, it was nice to see that something I was thinking was impossible to do in a tired state really was possible.

Conditioning:
1-10 Clean & Jerk (145#)
1 Round of Cindy after each round of clean and jerks.
(8 Rounds + 3)
So I decided to go with 145# to get myself out of my comfort zone of 115-135, the extra 10# really makes a difference. Still I'm actually glad regarding my performance, while it hurt I didn't feel like I was going to die and surprisingly felt fine afterward. Thinking my fitness is coming back around.
The other awesome note is that my butterfly kip felt strong today strangely found slower is faster in terms of keeping form and technique.

Conditioning:

Run 400m
5 x Back Squat (158#)
(9 mins 55 secs)
Feeling strong a little poor on the conditioning side but strong. I like strong. Should say there was some pressing going on in the jerks, still need to work on my form but days like this when you have high reps and for what for me is a decent weight helps.

Conditioning:
4 Rounds
400m Run
10 x Knees 2 Elbows
then
20 Minute
3 x Dead lift (odd minute)
10 x Knees 2 Elbows (even minute)
Dead lifts were light between 199-229# working on overhand grip to work on grip strength. Knees 2 elbows were just for skill and to work on the abs. The first workout was just running 400m in 1:40ish pace then doing 10 K2E and resting the remainder of 3 minutes. Overall a relaxing day.
