A

Hang Power Clean - 5 x 2; rest as needed (build to tough double)

Result: 225 / 225 / 275 / 300 / 315

Pretty happy with hitting 315# on the last set. I treated this like a rebound, as you would see in Grid, so this was actually a huge PR on that aspect. I remember the first time I actually hit 300# on hang clean and it was a big, big struggle. Today, 315# wasn't a big struggle. It was tough, but it wasn't a 2RM by any means. I could've gone to 335-345# if I really wanted or needed, but I'm still not fully confident in my low-back. 

B

Shoulder Press - 5 x 2; rest as needed (build to tough double)

Result: 155 / 185 / 205 / 225 / 235x

Bummed I failed at 235# but that would've been a 10# PR...and we all know how fucking difficult it is to PR in this move, BUT 225# for a double IS a PR. Most I had ever done for multiples, prior, was 205 for 3. I could've hit 225# for 3 or 4. After the first rep, it's easier. That first rep is the hard part. 

C

Strict Pull-up in Hollow Body @31x1 - 5 x AMRAP UB-2; rest 2min (stop 2 reps short of failure each set)

Result: 6 / 4 / 4 / 5 / 5

Well this was disappointing. Hollow body was hard to hold toward the end.

Row - 1k @ 30min TT pace -2

Rest - 60sec

x4 sets

The hardest part here was holding the 1:54.6avg, not due to exhaustion, just finding the right rhythm. I think this was common awhile ago, but I expect this.
