Fitness - Squat Cleans & WOD - 12/24

Level 4 was closed so I had to bang this one out at a regular gym. Luckily I've got a buddy that works the counter at one a few blocks from the office in Downtown Seattle. Score! Although is was weird working out mid-day.

Focus: Squat cleans, 5x5
1x5 - 185#
2x5 - 205#
2x5 - 225#

Did some front squat work to warm up the legs and wrists then got into it. I felt really strong and 225 was going up pretty easy. One thing I do miss is working out in front of a mirror. I could watch my form and tweak things as I needed to. Core strength continues to improve.

WOD: 5 rounds for time of
10 push press - 135#
20 box jumps - 20"
10 pull ups - chest to bar, butterfly

Finisher: 800m run

Score/Time: N/A
Calories burned (focus, WOD & finisher): 711

Unfortunately I had no way of timing this, there was no clock down in the free weight section and I was wearing my heart rate monitor that has a watch on it but I totally spaced and forgot to use it. I wear it so much now I don't even realize that it's there.

Anyway, although I went through it pretty quick I'm not going to venture a guess, I really have no idea. It was all unbroken until my last round. I had to break the push presses and pull ups into two smaller sets. I flew through the box jumps though, 20" is nothing anymore. It felt like a jumping up a curb or something.
