Wednesdays are usually pulling days, but - even though my shoulder feels better - I don't want to take the risk.
I made up today's conditioning routine at the last minute. In retrospect, the first movement seems a little out of place because all the rest are bodyweight-based.
30 reps each of:
Hang squat cleans @ 95 to 5 risers
Burpees
Box jumps @ 24"
Burpees
Over the box jumps @ 24" (30 per side)
Burpees
Bench supported lateral hops @ 24" (30 per side)
Burpees
Time = 34:45
Seems a long time, but not bad considering my quads and glutes are toast after yesterday's leg session. I did 10 minutes of stretching and warm-ups before I started the clock.
It wasn't particularly helpful when someone came up to me while I was taking a break after rep 40 of the otb jumps and asked if I thought what it would be like if I tripped over the step while I was jumping. Thanks for the pep talk, pal.

120 burpees, ouch that couldn't have been fun. Also 60 total over the box jumps that is the most you've ever done in a single workout, looks like a good workout nice work.
Yeah, the burpees were the hardest part. As early as the second set I started to regret choosing to do so many! The otb jumps were broken down into manageable sets of 10 reps and this was the movement where I took the longest rests in between.
Chris saw me as I was leaving the gym yesterday and commented that I looked "more pink than usual". We both were at the Board of Trade's executive meeting in the evening and I was a few minutes late, which is unusual for me. Apparently, Chris told the other exec members that I might not be coming because I didn't look too good earlier!
Ya you looked that way when I was coming into the gym, I usually do after those workouts too.
