Countdown to D-Day: T minus 18

Workout 1
21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps of:
Overhead Squat (95#)
Box Jump (24")

Run 400 m at the start of each round.

Time: 29:51

Overhead squats @ 95# felt great today. Real stable, hit full depth without any problem each time. Running into a strong headwind, on the other hand, sucked balls. Am looking forward to a week of hard workouts. I have only myself to blame -- it was my turn to plan WODs this week! ;)

Workout 2
Clean & jerk - 75% x 1 x 3 (115#)
Snatch pull - 97% x 3 x 3 (100#)
Snatch deadlift - 105% x 3 x 3 (110#)
Front squat - 81% x 3 x 5 (145#)
Stiff-legged DL - 3 x 5 (145#)
