A.  Squat Clean; Build to A Tough Single
Warm up to 205lbs;  225lbs;  245lbs;  255lbs;  265lbs - I pulled 275 but didn't try to get under it.  It just felt really heavy.  I really need to work on my squat cleans, I feel that it is lack of technique and practice that is the limiter.  I can pull the weight high enough but committing to turning over and pulling myself down and under the bar is mental to me on heavier weights.  I have no  problem doing this on snatch, but on cleans I almost feel that I have no where to go if I need to bail on a lift.  I feel like this is a confidence issue.  

B.  Front Squat;  5 x 5;  Rest 2 Min
185lbs;  205lbs;  225lbs;  245lbs;  255lbs;  265lbs;  275lbs;  285lbs - These felt good today

C1.  OHS; 10 - 12 x 5; Rest 1 Min
12 @ 135lbs;  12 @ 155lbs;  12 @ 165lbs;  12 @ 175lbs;  10 @ 185lbs

C2.  Strict T2B;  10 for Time x 5;  Rest 2 Min
0:21;  0:21;  0:25;  0:21;  0:20 - This was good.  It felt good to do OHS for reps175 and 185 got pretty tough, my shoulders were feeling it on the last few reps of each.  I have never really done strict T2B, in order to keep from swinging I ended up touching my tow to the ground between reps.

4 Rounds For Time
30 Unbroken Wall Balls
12 Unbroken C2B Pull-Ups
8:28 - This was tough the last 2 rounds got nasty.  My shoulders and triceps were feeling it on the last 2 WB.  Going into this I was thinking that my legs would feel the WB first but not so they felt good the whole time.  My stomach was actually feeling a bit bubbly/queezy after the 3rd set of C2B.  I enjoyed this, I'm glad to get back into normal training.

A.  Deadlift; Build to a Tough Single
Warm up to 275lbs;  2 @ 315lbs; 345lbs;  365lbs;  395lbs;  405lbs - wow 405 felt real heavy this morning.  My form felt good but it was slow crossing over my knees.  

B.  30 Deadlift for Time @ 315lbs
4:42 - I'm not happy about this at all.  After the first few reps my lower back - especially on my right side right above my hip - started to tighten up.  As soon as I felt this I got into my head a bit.  The last 10 reps felt the best, I guess because I turned my head off and just wanted to finish.
