Solid morning

I feel like I'm back on track, getting stronger, getting more energy. Tomorrow will be a day off because of school, but my recovery is back to normal and I'm chomping at the bit to work out.

This morning we started with 10 minutes to build to a heavy three rep deadlift.
DEADS:
3x 135#, 185, 225, 245, 265, 275, 295

Then 5 sets alternating power cleans and ring dips, 2 minutes rest between:
POWER CLEANS:
5 x 115#, 5 x 125, 3 x 135, 4 x 135, 4 x 135
RING DIPS (idea was to go "almost" to failure at a SLOW tempo - 3 second descent and a quick press out)
9 - 9 - 9 -9 - 10

Power cleans didn't feel good. Pull was not explosive, and I was landing funny, maybe because of my foot. Questionable whether cleans are a good idea yet. Ring dips felt pretty strong, even at slow pace.

Then 5 x 15reps GH raises. Not so bad.

Then, I modified "Annie" because I'm not back to jumping rope. Here's my sub:
25 kettlebell swings (to eye level), 26#
50 sit-ups (abmat, butterfly/unanchored)
20 kbs
40 sit-up
15 kbs
30 s-u
10 kbs
20 s-u
5 kbs
10 s-u
TIME: 6:06
