Horrible Hundred

For time:
25 Deadlifts (215#)
25 Squat clean and Jerks (125#)
25 Thruster (75#)
25 Overhead squat (45#)
Use one bar for the entire workout, stripping weights for each movement. The rx'd men's 45# bar will loaded in the following order to start the workout: 15# plates, then add 25# plates, and then add 45# plates
17:24. The target time was a rapid 10 minutes. I might have gotten a lot closer, but the C+Js got me. I am apparently still sore from Monday's hang clean marathon. When I did the first clean, every muscle in my body screamed, "Nooo!" I finished the deadlifts in around 2 minutes, and did the thrusters and OH presses each in about 2-3 minutes each. The cleans had to be seriously broken up. I refused to change weight or stop early, althought the thought crossed my mind several times. I will definately come back and revisit this one. I felt more comfortable with the overhead squats (the burn in my upper back indicated to me that my scapula were being much more active), but the jerks still had too much thoracic/lumbar hinging. It more resembeld a push press. I finished with some HEP for my shoulder with a good burn.
