Power Clean Clusters and Deadlift (115%BW) and Box Jump Metcon

Tuesday 1-4 OPT Day 96:
TRAINING:
Power Clean Cluster - 1.1.1.1.1 x 5; rest 4 min
+
3 rds for time:
10 Dead Lift - 115% BWT
25 box jumps - 24"

(rest 10 sec b/t reps on cluster; rules for box jump - jump up, hips to full ext @ top, STEP DOWN, repeat, you CANNOT jump up and jump off - we will test this again with jump up - jump down over time and compare)

Training Outcomes and Notes:
PC Cluster: 225-240-250-255-265(2)-265(2)-265(HPC)
Metcon: 5:05

I struggled on the PCs today. I could feel the physical drop off after the 3rd rep in the cluster. Just no oomph left in the tank...and for some reason I had a hard time finding my groove early on. The 225 and 240 felt awkward. I attempted 265 twice but only got 2 reps both times. After the second attempt I grabbed the bar and did the cluster with HPC instead. They were easy with the HPC. Felt like I could have gone up another 1-15#. I was hoping to end around 270, but apparently that was a little ambitious today. I could have easily done it doing HPC, but not PC.

Metcon wasn't too bad. I just read that it was supposed to be 25 reps for the BJ not 24. I only did 24 per round. Probably would have added another 5-6 seconds on to my total time though.
