Cycle 14 – 3s Week: Power Clean & Deadlift: 6/24/13

Started my week and a half long semi-vacation yesterday!
Solid 7 hours of sleep and felt decent as I drove to my gym (5/10)

Today was an AWESOME session!
Energy level was through the roof and felt like I did spectacular on everything today!

I was so energized that I did a reverse pyramid advanced burpees as finisher instead of my usual 5 minute jump rope!
Definitely wish all my sessions are like today!

Session went longer than usual as I was BSing with a friend for a few …
