3x5 Back Squat 115#
3x2 Power Clean 63#
40m Sled Pull 45#
3 rounds alternating forward and backward
1 min 54 sec
It was so much harder to sled pull backward. Toward the very end I felt like I had run a marathon.

3x5 Push Press 70#
3x5 Overhead Squat 55#
80m Sled Push 50#
21-15-9
30# KB Swing
6 min 50 sec
It took every bit of my energy to finish this wod. I had no problem getting through the kb swings, but the sled push was rough. I have to work on my cardio.

3x5 105# Front Squat
1x5 145#PR Deadlift
3x2 68# Power Clean
I'm pretty stoked about how strong I have gotten since I started lifting at Brute Strength Gym. The last deadlift was tough. I thought my back was going to give out, but I made it and now my PR is 145#.

3x5 125# Back Squat
3x2 73# Power Clean
untimed
5 rounds
80m sprint
15 push ups
30 sec rest
The sprints weren't bad, but I felt like my arms were giving out during the last few sets of push ups.

3x3 80# Push Press
3x3 65# Overhead Squat
Sprint 50m, 100m, 200m, 300m
Walk same distance
Running sucks, but I can only get better at it by adding more running to my wod's. It was hard to finish the 300m sprint and by that point I really wasn't sprinting.

I attempted to Power Clean 78#, but I was not able to clean that. Then I dropped to 73# and I was still not able to clean at that weight. I got extremely frustrated. I decided to move on to the 150# Deadlift and I failed at that as well. It was a horrible lifting day. I also have not been eating very healthy. Stress and the frustration of failing at Power Cleans ruined the rest of my workout. I ended this session with 4x3 pull ups. The 115# Front Squat was not even attempted. It's amazing how your mind works. When you think negative, you get negative results.

1RM 80#PR Squat Clean
3x 50m 75# Sled Drag
2x3 135# Back Squat
I got training on how to properly do a Squat Clean. I was stuck at 73# Power Cleans for about 1 1/2 months. I started my first set at 53# then proceeded to 63#, 75#, and 2 singles at 80# which is my new Squat Clean PR. Yay me! The Sled Drag was not that bad. The Back Squats were a bit heavy, but I was also exhausted from the cleans and sled drag. I was not able to complete my last set of 3 Back Squats. However, I had a good Squat Clean day and I hit a PR which is all that matters. I feel like I totally redeemed myself from yesterday's disaster.

1x3 1x4 1x2 80# Push Press
3x5 65# Overhead Squat
50m 100m 200m 300m sprint
I was supposed to do 3x5 Push Press, but it was a bit too heavy. The sprint wod was not too bad. I ran the 50m in 13 sec, 100m in 23 sec, 200m in 47 sec, and 300m in 1 min 20 sec.

3x3 60# Press
3x3 135# Back Squat
Every min on the min for 5 min:
3 Pull Ups, 6 Push Ups, 9 Squats
The Back Squat was easier than I expected. I am pretty sure I will have no problem doing 3x5 135# Back Squat. I feel stronger every workout. I enjoyed this wod. However, the next day I was extremely sore.

2x3 65# Overhead Squat
1x3 55# Overhead Squat
3x3 85# Push Press
100m 200m 400m 800m run
I was pretty worn after the running WOD and the Push Press. It was hard for me to keep the 65# barbell steady for my Overhead Squats. My legs were sore from the run and last week's WOD. It's been a while since I have felt sore. I didn't attempt another set of 65# Overhead Squats because I have a Navy PRT on Thursday and I have to make sure I'm not too sore for that. I feel like I am able to run faster and breathe easier now. Hopefully I get the running score I'm looking for on Thursday.
