Power Clean
1 RM in 8:00
235 lbs.

Boo!  I was on schedule for 245 or so I thought.  I messed up adding weights on my planned penultimate attempt of 235 and left an extra 10 lbs. plate on one side.  Unfortunately, I didn't discover it until I hit extension.  Then, I got all flustered, had to rush to get the weights right and barely squeaked in 235.  (Full disclosure 235 felt really heavy today, anyway)

CP Battery Test
AMRAP 8
Power Cleans @ 90% of the above
215 lbs. / 33 Reps (No fails)

Slight improvement (5 lbs. and 1 rep) over the last time I did this test in August, 2014.  I am not terribly disturbed with this.

50 HSPU for time (10, 5, 2, F, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5)
8:02

I hit 10 strong ones right out of the gate.  I might have pushed the pace the little too hard going into the second round without enough rest.  The third time I kicked up I was not in my preferred position. I felt too close to the wall and it made feel like I was going to topple forward.  Spent a lot of shoulder strength balancing myself and paid for it.  However, I was able to re-group and finished relatively strong.  I really feel like I am improving these and that there is hope at the end of this tunnel.
