  Would've had the KB swings straight through if my grip didn't give out.  I was trying to avoid launching the KB across the gym... also, the round at 35# felt pointless.  Next time I'll just stay at 53#.

Set 3: 10x
  10 sec L-Sit (on the minute)

  --

  First workout felt good until I had a shoulder wobble on the third set of TGU.  I've had issues with my left shoulder in the past that I don't care to repeat, so as soon as I felt it I dropped the TGUs and just finished up the presses and thrusters.  I've done heavier weight TGU before... probably just lost focus a bit.

  Didn't intend to go hard on the 5k Row but wasn't really able to relax and take it easy... instead I tried to maintain 1:50-split effort.

  L-Sits suck.

Workout #2:
5 mi Run, 85-90%, steady-state breathing

 --

  Lift felt good this morning, especially the Sumo Deadlifts once I was warmed up.  I don't think I've ever pulled 315# Sumo before, and I'm pretty sure I could have handled more reps, but the ham raises on the GHD were harder than expected.  I stole the DL/Hang Clean/Push Press circuit from a buddy, and it was a smoker.  The push presses were the most difficult part, probably because of the squats yesterday.  I shouldn't have had an issue with that weight.

  Initially didn't want to push the run all that hard, but after chasing down a few people I knew on the route, just decided to finish strong.  Didn't bring my watch with me, but it felt like miles were in the 6:10-6:20 range.

Workout #1:
Warmup: 2x
  5 OHS @ 45#
  5 Ostrich (ea)
  5 Walking Lunge (ea)
  5 Handstand Shoulder Touch (ea)

Set 1: 5-5-5-5-5
  Front Squat @ (135#-155#-175#-185#-195#)
  10 Box Jump @ 36"
  10 GHD Situps

Set 2: 4x @ (95#-95#-115#-135#)
  10 Hang Clean
  5 Front Squat + 5 m Walk

Set 3: 20-15-15
  AKB Swing @ 70#

Set 4: Skill Development
  L Sit

--

The point of the first set is to build strength in the Front Squat.  Add weight as necessary/able.  I know my numbers aren't that impressive... it is what it is.  The box jumps and GHD situps follow immediately to counter the heavy lift with a plyo/explosive movement.

The second set works core stability.  Walking with the weight racked across your chest is harder than it sounds, although we probably started a bit on the light side.  I realized after the I started to bump it up that I didn't have any issue doing the cleans at 135#, but I wanted to move on and my partner was getting smoked.

Workout #2:
  2 mi Run for time - 11:12

--

Happy with this.  I'm also down to 200#.  Wonder if I could have run a little faster without the leg workout an hour prior.
