5 thrusters @20 dumbbells
3 chin ups
5 burpees

Finished in 14:15. 

I did 3 kipping chin ups, but I should've just tried 1 strict chin up.

Amateur
Squat 3x5 (add 5 lbs to last workout). 160
Press 3x5 (add 2.5 lbs to last workout). Attempted 70 but failed. Reset back to 55.

7 rounds for time:
7 One arm KB power snatch (RT) 2 pood

Attempted the KB power snatch and my form wasn't right, so I switched to 10 kb swings at 44lbs. I did 6 kipping pull ups instead of strict because I was using the squat rack pull up bar.

Amateur
Squat 3x5 (add 5 lbs) RESET to 175 (from 190). 
Bench 3x5 (add 2.5 lbs) RESET to 95 (from 105).



Complete 4 rounds:
1 Minute - Max Rep Sit Up Med Ball Throws w/ 20 lbs.
1 Minute - Max Rep True Push Ups
1 Minute - Max Rep Supine Ring Rows
1 Minute - Banded Good Mornings
*Med ball throws are completed by starting in a sit up position 6 feet from the wall with the ball extended overhead. Sit up violently throwing the ball against the wall and repeat. 

I used 12lbs for the med ball (they didn't have 20) and I didn't throw against wall; I just did situps. No ring rows were available, so I held onto the leg press machine and pulled up, trying to replicate the movement. Still weak. I shot for at least 25 reps for each exercise. I usually got there (or past it).

Amateur
Squat 3x5 (add 5 lbs to last workout) @ 185 (chicken!) I was supposed to try 190, but my legs just felt weak! Even 185 was tough.
Press 3x5 (add 2.5 lbs to last workout) @65. Good weight. Ready for increase next week.

Complete 5 rounds: 
1 Minute - Barbell Overhead Support
1 Minute - GHD Back Extension Isometric Hold
*30 seconds rest between rounds
*For barbell overhead support, get the weight overhead anyway possible and hold for 60 seconds. Start light and add weight to the bar each. Work up the heaviest set possible.
*For GHD Isometric Hold, hold at the top of the back extension. Cross arms across the chest or if you are bad ass, place hands behind the head. 

Got through 3 1/2 rounds. GHD was harder than I expected. Power cleaned and held 85, 85, 95 (could've gone a little heavier).
