I felt like I was standing around a lot, what with trying deliberating to make sure I was resting enough. Despite that, the workout was done in about an hour. I felt in control during my first one or two reps of each set. Beyond that, I had to struggle a little.

Presses felt good. I’ll get the last rep next workout.

Power cleans felt solid. I wasn’t thinking too deeply, just trying to explode the bar to the point where my feet leave the ground. I banged the bar off my shin once or twice. Think I just had a bad transition from first to second pull.

Added a rep to middle set of chins that tends to come and go.
