Today was the best I've felt in the gym in a while. Everything felt solid, both the lifting and the metcon. That metcon was extremely challenging and I really pushed it. Great physical and mental training. It was fun to just go hard and enjoy it. Overhead squatting was the first stuff below parallel I've done in a while, but it felt solid. Today was kind of a bastardization of the last two days of programming, but I got a very good workout out of this.

A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
Hang Power Clean + Push-Press + Split Jerk

-3 Sets @ 205#
-3 sets @ 215#
-2 sets @ 225#
-2 sets @ 230#

B.
Every 3 minutes for 12 minutes (4 sets):
Overhead Squat x 3 reps
*Set 1 - 75% (185#) of 1 RM Snatch (245#)
*Set 2 - 85% (205#)
*Set 3 - 95% (230#)
*Set 4 - 105% (255#)

-Complete, no misses. This felt surprisingly really solid. I think the hip mobility stuff / general time off from squatting heavy that I've been doing has really been helping my squat position.

C.
Every 3 minutes for 24 minutes (8 sets):
Row 15 calories
12 C2B Pull-ups
8 Burpee-box-jump-overs (24")

-1:34 to 2:59 were slowest / fastest. This was really hard training. The 2:59 was the 7th set, so started the 8th set on the 22nd minute instead of the 21st. Great stuff, really pushed the C2B pull-ups. 4 sets unbroken and then 4 sets 8/4. This was painful and tough mentally, but a very solid workout. Looking forward to getting back in the gym tomorrow.
