Notes:
-CPMP- completed in 3:32, the goal is to finish under 7 min.
-CP Prehab- I upped the reps to 8 and still finished under 5 minutes, the goal is done in 8 minutes.
-S.S's complex - Pretty good complex but jumping up to 24 kg's was a mistake on the bootstrapper, I felt like I had very little control on those 5 reps. So I added more practice at the end.

Semi Specific warmup

deadlift - 45 x 5, 95 x 4, 135 x 3, 185 x 2, 225 x 1, 275 x 1, 305 x 4, 310 x 4, 310 x 4

rack DL - 365 x 3, 405 x 1, 365 x 0

bulgarian split squat -30 x 10, 30 x 10

back extensions - 10, 10

hanging leg raises - 6, 5

Tabata Row @ 5 - 8 intervals - 778 meters - 1:43/500m Average

Notes:
-New Rules of Lifting Strenght II workout C
-Deadlifts - Complete reset method like the last time I did workout C, meaning I'd completely put the bar down and re-position myself for each heavy rep. 310 felt pretty good, I could have handled more.\
-SGBDL- These were an ass kicker! The box adds a new dimension of evilness to the deadlift.
-Rack Deadlifts w/ straps- Blew the dust off my straps and tried these out the 1st set was good and I wondered why I could do 405 on 1/4 squats but my rack deadlift was shaky so I tried 405 and did it once after that I felt just dead.
-Bulgarian Split squat - 30's with dumbbells was HARD.
-Tabata Row - Running short on time so I threw in a Tabata at the end.

Core Performance Movement Prep - New Version
Core Performance Prehab:
Swiss ball crunches - 15#x12
pillar bridge front - narrow stance - 6L/R
Pillar Bridge side - jumping jack - 6L/R
glute bridge - knee bent - 6 L/R
mini band walk - 6L/R
Physio ball Y's and T's - 6 Y's, 6 T's

KB Complex - 24 kg KB - Done all of left side then all of right side
suitcase deadlift x 6
clean x 6
1 handed swing x 6
snatch x 6
ohs x 6

Same complex but alternating sides each exercise:
suitcase deadlift x 5
clean x 5
hand to hand swing x 10
snatch x 5
ohs x 5

Notes:
-KB complex derived from reading about different KB and barbell complexes the last few days and I tried it all on one side first and that was taxing on my grip near the end. So I tried it by alternating sides and that was more met-con and a lot less taxing on my grip.
