The ring dips where a lot more of challenge than I expected. I tried to stick with the small band, but had to eventually move up to the next size. And during the last 400m run, I got a horrible stitch in my side which hasn’t happened forever. Out of all the things, I think the power cleans where the easiest… although I did only do them 5 at a time. I was quite done after the workout.

20 min for rounds:
95#
5 thrusters
7 hang power clean
10 sumo deadlift high pull

5 + thrusters + cleans

Thrusters did me in again… poor front squat caused some issues with
my back. I also had a tough time keeping the SDHP balanced. But I'm
happy that I used the Rx weight.

Looking back I think I could have done alot better had I not tried to
tough out my back pain. I laid down on the floor at about the 18min
mark, got back up for the last minute and was able to get the last 5
thrusters and 7 cleans in under a min. Maybe I should have taken a
break earlier on. But I also think part it was mental… Need to work
on my intensity and push thru, like I did for the last min.
