Strength day plus metcon

Strength:
Squat 3x5 Working sets
Bench press 3x5 Working sets
Chins-kipping 3 sets to failure
Dips: 3 sets to failure weighted with 25lb dumbbell

Metcon:
10 reps
Hang power clean into a
front squat followed by a
push press into a
back squat into a
push press

and begin next rep

This is more commonly known as The Bear complex, though I did screw it up a bit. They should have been power cleans, not hang power cleans. No matter. It was a good burst at the end of a workout. Of course, this is quite a bit less than the five rounds of seven reps the bear calls for. Maybe another time.

I reset my squats back about 15% from where I was as I planned to do. I did much better on the bench today than I did last week.
