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.
