Planned Prescription-hood

Alternating every minute, on the minute for 20 minutes:
10 C2B Pull-Ups
6 Squat Cleans

Rolled with 60kg/132lb since that was the general consensus... kept rep scheme as is (most were scaling.) Executed my game plan! I didn't rush the first few rounds, kept my C2B broken into 5 and 5, did the cleans one at a time (dropped the bar each time,) and took a halftime break at round 6 (only did half reps.) And the biggest win of all is NO SKINS TEARS! C2B always rip my left palm, but I focused on my grip throughout (made sure to keep tight) and came through clean. Good day.

He's a Looker

A. Squat Clean Cluster: 1.1.1 x 5; rest 4 minutes - rest 10 seconds between reps

B. Ring Push-Ups @ 1010: amrap x 5 sets; rest 90 seconds (stop 2 reps shy of muscle failure)
C. AMRAP sets of 5 unbroken Overhead Squats in 5 minutes; must reset with a rest on the ground in between sets

a. 186# was my final, successful 3... for whatever reason when I went up to 198# I wasn't releasing my grip to catch the bar... so I did 1 fugly rep, failed, and had a successful (and pretty per Sam) third rep. I was working with a newbie today and it was really humbling to watch him and realize how far my form has come since I first started at CFDC. Still have a long way to go yet

b. Did sets of 25-20-15-10-10... these seemed more difficult than usual, I think because of the burpees and benchpress from yesterday.

c. This was gay. Again, was having problems because of my chest. I was having the hardest time stabilizing the barbell as I went down into the pocket. I only finished 6 sets... should have been around 10.
