Strength day plus metcon

Strength:

Front squats, 3x5 working sets
Deadlifts 1x5 working set
Overhead Press, 3x5 working sets

Metcon:

Tabata set of dumbbell swings

Tabata set of burpees

I'm liking the idea of finishing strength workouts with metcon work. It gives me an extra metcon edge. I've been considering having two rest days a week instead of just one. Adding metcon on strength days will give me the peace of mind to do that, and my body gets an extra recovery day. I don't seem to recover as fast at 51 than I did at 21. Go figure.
