Dead Legs!

Took a hot shower before I went to bed and I slept like a baby through the night. Woke up feeling good for the most part. Back was pretty stiff, but some serious DOMS in my legs, specifically my butt! That's the price you pay for heavy deep squats though. I figure they would loosen up a little bit after I got moving. Everyone was pretty slow moving this morning, so I was glad to see I wasn't the only one.

Strength 
Cleans 5-5-5-5-5@55-63-70-77-85%
Bar(8) - 135(5) --- 165 - 190 - 210 - 230 - 255
- It was extremely difficult to get loose and don't really think I ever achieved "looseness". I was starting to run out of time and I knew 5 x 5 would get pretty long and grueling so I kicked in gear. The first 2-3 sets were pretty light, but just fatiguing. Form felt good, for the exception of my left heel (ankle) not staying down. The fourth set got rough. Had no problem keeping my back set or any winking or folding that I could tell during any of the sets, but my back was starting to fatigue pretty fast. The final set was a brute. I was starting to feel pretty week in my pull. On the 3rd/4th rep I was slow with my elbows and felt my right elbow just miss my knee at the bottom (add sigh of relief). Refocused for the fifth rep. Felt good on the catch, but the squat up was hard.
-Overall, solid work. Despite the stiffness and heavy feeling I had in my legs, I felt quick under the bar on most of the reps and that's an area I need to focus on. I wish we had some pulling boxes around. 
--An ice bath may be in my future soon.

Fifth set of 5 @ 255lbs (85% of 1RM)

WOD

8:00 AMRAP

  5 HSPU

  7 Hang Power Cleans (115#)

  10  Box Jumps 24"

= 5 rounds 

- Don't know whether to call myself lazy or smart on this one, but either way I'm disappointed. 

-- I didn't answer the bell on this one. My legs were toast already and my back was tightening. I just couldn't get mentally prepared for this one. 

-I took a slow and steady pace on the HSPUs with an abmat. This is the first time doing them since hurting my shoulder back in December. Strict ones were tough so I went to a nice easy kip and it definitely helped take the pressure off. Slight discomfort, but doable. I was very pleased with the progress of my shoulder. 

- All sets were unbroken. Just went nice and slow again, not to aggravate my back and have another spasm incident. 

- Had nothing to give to box jumps. This is where I was done. Tried to bound up and down and it just wasn't happening. Kept a solid pace, but just wasn't as fast as usual. 

Gonna rest up and get after it at the end of the week.
