Today was a really solid session. Body felt great ... the best I have in a very long time. Felt 100% and it was awesome to just push myself. This workout was really long ... felt a noticeable wall after 30 minutes, was terribly painful to finish. Was also great to hit 315# for a 2 RM clean PR.
A.Six sets of:
Clean + Clean from Below the Knee(from below the knee, pause with the barbell at least 2″ below the knee cap, plates hovering slightly off the floor, then clean)
Rest as needed
Build over the course of the eight sets.
-135#, 225#, 275#, 275#, 295#, 315# (fail - failed clean below knee)
-Went on to clean 315# for a double, no pause below knee to go ahead and PR this 2 RM lift. Felt really strong on both pulls.

3 – 3 DB Thrusters, 2 Muscle-Ups, 250 Meter Row
4 – 4 BBJ, 3 DB Thrusters, 2 Muscle-Ups, 250 Meter Row
. . . and so on.
-49:48. Goal was sub 45, but that just didn't happen. I was really happy with my effort though. Doing everything with KBs definitely took longer than using the DBs that were prescribed for most to these movements. I was really happy I was able to do all the bodyweight stuff unbroken (especially HSPU and C2B pull-ups). Felt great until 30 minutes, then it was just a struggle, but got through it. Also, when comparing to other's times, was supposed to be burpee box jumps, not jump overs, so lost a lot of time there too. Man-makers with KBs are probably the worst exercise ever. Fun day in the gym, stoked about the PR, looking forward to rest tomorrow and working out at my old gym back home over my Christmas vacation.
