A. Squat Clean; 10 singles @ 255+; rest as needed 
B. Back Squat; 5 reps @ 75% of 1RM until speed slow, mechanical compensation or 6 sets; rest 2min bw sets 

A and B went very, very, very poorly. I did 4 cleans at 255lbs, then started failing reps left and right. It felt like I hadn't done a clean in 6 months. I was bottoming out in the catch position and my chest was dropping forward as I was standing up. After failing a few reps at 255lbs, I tried to drop the weight to 235lbs but continued to fail reps. As for the squats, I did 4 sets at 225lbs and it felt like I had never done a back squat in my life.


8min AMRAP: 
14 Cal Row 
8 TTB 
10 Hang Power Clean and Jerk @ 50# DB (5/side) 
rest 3min 
x3 total sets 

Set 1 - 4 rounds (1200cals/hr on the row, UB T2B)
Set 2 - 3 rounds + 8 T2B (1200 cals/hr on the row, rounds 1,2,4 of T2B UB)
Set 3 - 3 rounds + 14 cal row (1200cals/hr on the row, UB T2B)

I started having some grip issues in round 3 of set 2 due to how humid it was and how sweaty my hands started getting. On round 3 of set 2 I slipped off the pull-up bar because my hands were so wet I couldn't maintain a tight enough grip. After that, I spent more time than I'd like chalking up prior to starting the T2B
