Split Jerks
5x2 Climbing
135, 155, 175, 195, 215

These felt pretty good.  I still need to work on my dip/drive (shorter and faster) and getting my head through on the finish, but I am improving (slowly).  The doubles were a little different.  I usually use jerk boxes and drop between reps.  Bringing the weight back into the front rack and hitting the double is more challenging.

Front Squats

7x5 Across

235 lbs. (75%)

This squat cycle continues to be challenging.  I am afraid it has been too much volume for me.  My squat was never an issue, but I feel like my squatting, particularly front, has suffered.  I am looking forward to testing my 1 RM next week.

CTB Pull-Ups

EMOTM10

Started with eight on the minute, but after three minutes, dropped to six.  Shoulders were fatigued from all of the pressing yesterday, and it had a large effect on my kip.  

Cleans

3EMOTM10

205 lbs.

Stepped WAY out of my comfort zone and did these on the "non Olympic" side of the gym with a regular WOD bar and not our nice Olympic bars.  It was a challenge, but I am happy to have done it this way.  I am a little too regimented in my routine.

A little Slo-Mo.
