    45x5
    95x5
    135x5

    160x3 lost tension on the 4th and could not finish!
    160x5 got into the zone and made it to the 5th rep!
    Metcon: 8:30 mins
    Used 15 lbs DB and 24" boxes for DB Cleans box jumps
    Used the same weight for OHS
    20lbs for med ball slams
    Doing the whole Cleans and Jumps took some time getting used to...OHS was still hard!

  2. clarification on PC with box jumps:
    perform a hang power clean with dumbbells and when your feet leave the ground jump slightly forward on a box ending in a bent knee position with dumbbells racked at shoulder level. step off the box and repeat.

    This was H.A.M. The look on the faces of the old men walking on treadmills and doing bicep curls was priceless.

  5. Back Squats: 45x8, 75x5, 95x5, 115x3, 135x5x3
    Squats were getting pretty shallow in the last few weeks, so decided to back off on weight and re-start progression with rock bottom high bar squats.

    Press: 45x5, 55x5, 65x3, 75x5x3

    Did some rock climbing instead of lat pull-downs/metcon.

  6. back squats: 230lb 5x3
    I will do this set again, since my form wasn't really perfect, I think...
    Benchpress: 155lb, failed almost immediately! 145lb went easily (did 150lb last time, but that was like a week ago)

    lad machine: setting 12, did 10,9,7 reps
