A.
Four sets of:
Drop Snatch x 1 rep
Rest 1-2 minutes
95 all sets
B.
Every minute on the minute for 10 minutes:
Snatch x 1 rep
Approximate loading % per set: 60, 70, 75-80, 80-85, 85-90, 90+, 90+, 90+, 90+, 90+
145, 170, 180, 190, 205, 215, 225x, 225x, 225
Snatching at these increments on the minute wasn't going to happen for me. Feeling weak tonight anyway but at least tried. Once I hit 205, I was thinking, no way. Backed it down with a little more rest just to hit 225 before I called it quits.
C.
Every minute on the minute for 10 minutes:
Clean & Jerk x 1 rep
Approximate loading % per set: 60, 70, 75-80, 80-85, 80-85, 85-90, 85-90, 90+, 90+, 90+
Wasn't even going to try OTM on this so worked up to 225 and focused on jerk technique.
D.
Front Squat
*Set 1 – 4 reps @ 75-80%
*Set 2 – 3 reps @ 80-85%
*Set 3 – 2 reps @ 85-90%

*Set 5 – 3 reps @ 85-90%
*Set 6 – 2 reps @ 90-95%
*Set 7 – 6 reps @ 75-80%

285x4, 300x3, 315x4, 300x4, 315x3, 335x2, 285x6 - tough
MRI was clean for the most part. Told me to rest the shoulders. He thinks my pain is coming from the upper sub-scapular area where it ties in to the shoulder. No surgery and nothing serious is good... Pain and discomfort is bad. I guess I'll take it.

A.
Eight sets of:
Clean x 1.1 @ 90+%
(rest 10 seconds between singles)
Rest 2 minutes between sets
285, 285, 285, 285, 290, 290, 295, 305 - The last set was easier than the previous 2. Mentally I must have done something different on the last set.
B.
Back Squat
* Set 1 – 4 reps @ 75%
* Set 2 – 3 reps @ 80%
* Set 3 – 2 reps @ 85%
* Set 4 – 1 rep @ 90-95%

Rest 3 minutes between sets.
Based on an older 400 PR.
300x4, 300x3, 320x3, 340x2, 370x1 (strong), 320x10
If I could have held it together a little tighter from 6+ w/better efficiency and concentration between reps, it would have bought me few more reps.
C.
Three sets not for time:
x5 PHSPU - 6"
x5 C2B kipping pullups
x10 OH Lunges w/45# plate
x15 20" box overs

A.
Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets):
Snatch x 1.1
(rest 10 seconds between singles)
Approximate loading % per set: 55, 60-65, 65-70, 70-75, 75-80, 80-85, 85+, 85+, 85+, 85+
135, 155, 170, 180, 195, 205, 205, 205, 205, 210# - doubles got tough in the last 3 sets.
B.

*Set 7 – 6 reps @ 75-80%
Rest 2 minutes between sets
No tempo prescription here. The first few sets, or even the first session, might feel a little odd when you transition back from tempo work, but it shouldn’t take you long to regain your normal squatting rhythm and enjoy the strength you developed during the tempo squat phase.
4) 285, 300
3) 300, 320
2) 320, 335 (x1) - Failed at the sticking point on 2nd rep and gave up.
6) 285
FS's were rough on me today. That was a lot of weight and a lot of reps. I felt myself wanting to descend slowly but had to keep reminding myself to move. Back was pretty tight going into the last 3/2/6.
D.
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
5 Hang Power Clean (185/135 lb.)
10 Toes-to-Bar
7 rounds + 5 HPC + 5 T2B
Arms are fried because of this one. T2B aren't real great so that didn't help my grip any having to hang longer than necessary. A little more aggression early on would have bought me the time needed to finish my 8th round.
