This morning was a rough workout... jerks felt pretty solid, trying to get consistent with doubles at 275# ... was definitely good training. The metcon was over the top... tore me apart and took me longer to recover from than any workout I've done within recent memory (probably years?).

A.

Every 2 for 6 (3 sets):
Behind the Neck Press in Split x 5 reps 

-Complete, across at 95# 

B. 

Every 2 for 20 (10 sets):

Split Jerk x 2 reps 

Build up to roughly 90% = 285#

-185#, 185#, 225#, 225#, 255#, 255#, 275#, 275#, 275#, 275# ... missed one jerk at 275#, so went 7/8 on these. Great training, feeling solid on jerks lately.

5 RFT, with a 30 minute cap:
10 HSPU
15 Thrusters (155/105#)
20 Burpees-over-the-Bar
25 Pull-ups

-4 Rounds + 10 Thrusters (compared to 3 rounds + 21 pull-ups in October 2013 ... improved by 24 reps in about 3 years)

-When I originally did this workout in October 2013, my goal was to be able to finish this workout within 30 minutes. I thought I might be able to today, but I obviously didn't. I ate a lot of weird food last night, didn't take pre-workout (which I'm doing a cycle of) and didn't eat anything before working out. Overall it was a rough mix of circumstances for such a difficult session in the gym. Overall happy with my effort though. Also, given that I haven't been squatting much, the thrusters felt weak in the bottom. When I did this a few years ago I was probably much more consistent on the thrusters... rough time in the gym, but a big effort. Glad with my effort and glad I did this. I will test this workout again in the future.
