It took me 31:55 to complete this workout. I did not work out last week because I felt I needed to take a break physically and mentally. Because of the break, I started a little slow, however I seemed to have gotten my second wind by the 4th round.

The 800m run is what got me.. It took me 24:40 to complete this workout..My goal was under 25. I meet that. But I felt I could have finished at least 2 to 3 minutes faster.

WorkOut:
3 Power Cleans 65lbs
6 Pushups
9 Squats

5 rounds for 3 minutes- do as many as you can within that time
1 minute break between rounds.

This workout was kind of cool.. By the 4th round, I was worn down. The bar on the cleans was getting heavy and pushups were difficult. I have to concentrate on my squats because of my knee. It's not completely healed from the sprain.

Bench Press 2x3x3x3x3 up to 95lbs
Deadlifts 3x3x3x3x3 up to 155lbs

I struggled some on the cleans because I'm still having difficulty bring my elbow up high. I was shock at myself on the bench. I can remember when I could not lift the bar. The deadlifts were ok..I probably should have challenged my self with more weight.

WorkOut:
Push Jerk 3x3x3x3x3 up to 45lbs

This was difficult to do at first. I started out with a 22lb bar because I had to learn how to hold it correctly during the exercise. As I got more comfortable holding the bar I increased the weight.
