Performance


A.
Four sets of:  
5x225, 5x245, 5x265, 5x285
Deadlift x 5 reps
Rest 3 minutes between sets
(spend this time working on T-spine and shoulder mobility);
Could have probably gone 10#'s heavier each set. Michelle's cue; butt starts too low so I start my lift with that instead of whole body. Same as Cody's cue for the snatch.

1000 Meter Row
50 Thrusters (45/33 lb. barbell)

Performance


A.
Five sets of:
Snatch + Overhead Squat x 3 reps  40, 45, 50, 55, 60
Rest 2 minutes
They all felt really good. Was leaning a bit forward on the finish. Cody's cue was that I should start with my butt up higher and shoulders a bit out over the bar, so I'm not lifting my but up first from such a low start and pushing myself forward. Totally felt better after that. My one rep max is 65 and 60 felt pretty easy. 
B.
Three rounds for time of:
15 Pull-Ups
30 Double-Unders
300 Meter Run
Got through 1 1/3 rounds and then on the second round of double-unders my left calf strained again. Argggghhh!!! Finished my third round of pull-ups and was done.
