Crossfit and Stength log for Friday, April 18th

Started today's workout with 3x3 squat cleans at 80% 

I opted for 155# which is 85%. I don't like lifting under 85%.  Didn't do too bad, I really need to move my feet, I losing out on a lot of power, and likely have a much better clean in me.


The WOD was brutal
"Santiago"  7 rounds for time (w/ 15 min cap):

-18 dumbbell hang squat cleans 30#
-18 pull ups
-10 power cleans 115#
-5 handstand push ups

Got through 2 rounds and 12 dumbbell hang squat cleans.  Ugh.

After lunch I went to the Y my Caleb, I've been wanting to tackle my bench press PR for a while now.  I've been lifting 90%-95% of max for multiple reps for some time and new I could finally break 200#.

Worked up rather quickly, only had half an hour to work. Got really comfortable for 185# and 195#.  Then went for it.  It went up surprisingly easy.  

I probably couldn't done two reps.  

Caleb naturally talked me into trying 210#, figured why not?  But of course it wasn't happening. He had to bail me out.  It was nice having him there to witness it.  I was clearly please with the accomplishment and I felt his pride in me.
