Both of these were very difficult and extremely demoralizing. I haven't been this frustrated with how poor a training day has gone in  long time and this was infuriating. The only plus side was that I didn't miss any snatches. However my shoulder felt weird, nothing alarming, but not what I'd call ideal.

3 Sets:
1000m C2 @ 30min pace
10 Back Squats @ 60% 1RM
5 Squat Snatch @ 135 for time
rest 3min with easy spin bw sets

Did the back squats at 205lbs and went UB for each set. For the C2 I held about 2:02/1k pace because I have no idea what my 30min time trial time is. I had to use one barbell and change the weights for this one and the row/DL/clean one. 

Set 1 - 4:20, :45 for the snatches

Set 2 - 4:30, :50 for the snatches

Set 3 - 4:35, :55 for the snatches

3 Sets:
500m Row @ 30min pace
10 Deadlifts @ 65% of 1RM
5 Squat Cleans @ 185lbs for time
rest 3min with easy spin bw sets 

Did the deadlifts at 275lbs and had to scale the squat cleans to 185lbs. My posterior chain was smoked by the time I got to this part and I was having trouble standing up 185lbs cleans while warming up. I felt incredibly weak for this part, and had to split the DL into 4/3/3 for the first set then 6/4 for the last two. I held a 2:02/500m pace for the row.

Honestly I've felt really weak since that squat cycle and I frankly did not like that cycle at all in any way. My squat speed, particularly standing up, was very slow for the cleans and slow for the snatches.

Set 1 - 4:15, :57

Set 2 - 4:05, :50

Set 3 - 4:07, :47
