A. 
HB Back Squat @21x1 - 4 x 6; rest 2min (building to moderate 6)

Result: 225 / 315 / 365 / 405x @ 6

I think I just felt a little cocky on this today. 365# felt pretty good, so I went for broke. I hit 5 solidly on 405# but rep 6 was a different story. Still, at that tempo, I'm pretty surprised that I was able to hit 405# for 5. I felt very strong. 

B
Clean Grip Deadlift @31x1 - 4 x 6; rest 2min (building to moderate 6)

Result: 335# across

Limiting factor here, again, was grip and thumbs getting smooshed on the hook grip. I need to figure out a way to get hook grip to work better here. 

C
Shoulder Press @21x1 - 4 x 6; rest 2min (building to moderate 6)

Result: 165 / 185 / 205 / 225

2 rep PR here for 225#. Again, it didn't feel like a 6RM either. I think I have this bad boy figured, or close to it. Actually, I'll have it figured out when I'm strict pressing 405#. 

D
Strict CTB Pull-up in Hollow Position - 3 x 2.2.2.2; rest as needed +2min

Didn't quite take a half hour this time but it still took every bit of 20 minutes. I can tell my my strict pulling ability is increasing pretty quickly thanks to these EMOMs. 
+
EMOM for 16min
Min-1 - 30sec Burpees
Min-2 - 30sec AB @ 90-95% (VO2 effort ~450-500W)
Min-3 - 30sec Wallball
Min-4 - 30sec AB @ 90-95% 

Burner. This one hurt my fitness. You know it's kind of fucked up when you consider 30 seconds of burpees to be your rest time. Then again, I'm actually kind of a fan on burpees. Not something you normally hear a 290# man say, haha.
