Pre-WOD Strength - Front Squats: 3 x 95lbs 3 x 115lbs 3 x 185lbs 3 x 205lbs 3 x 205lbs 3 x 225lbs New PR for me on front squats with 225, and 3 reps nonetheless!  Best part was that my form was great, better actually than the first few at much lighter weights.  A friend helped me with hand positioning and I placed a wall ball under me to make sure I was sinking low enough.  So those 3 reps at 225 lbs were on point. WOD - 3RFT 15 Power cleans @ 95lbs 15 Burpees Beast for the WOD was 135lb power cleans and bar-facing burpees.  I could handle 135 cleans, but I went back to last week where our box owner wanted us to focus on form and intensity.  Mentally and physically this was an accomplishment for me.  I had found a workout where I could have gone above RX but opted not to.  I figured with the lighter weight I should have been moving faster, so that was my goal. Felt good to be moving like this again.  My lower back has been hurting, hands shredded, right ankle with a sharp pain, so to get back into the swing of things felt great. 7:51 @ RX.
