Today I did a 1RM squat clean. I never maxed out on a squat clean before so I was not sure what to expect. I was hoping to get around 155# but I surprised myself with 170#! I caught 175# at the bottom and bounced up but I could not stand up to complete the rep. I have been working on not raising my butt in the first pull and keeping the bar close to my body with a powerful hip extension. I plan to keep working on this, and hopefully next time I will set another PR.

Part 2 of my work out:
5 rounds
-15 burpees
-400m run
15:16
I do not like to run and I do not like to do burpees but I forced myself to keep a consistent pace the entire work out. I did the whole work out unbroken. It was a huge accomplishment for myself to not stop once on 5 sets of 15 burpees.
Here is another video of WODS from the last year and a half.
