Oct 1. power cleans + air bike

Oct-1
A. Power Clean - 10min to build to 1RM; rest exactly 8min
B. Power Clean - 8min AMRAP @ 90% of ""A""
+
Rest to full recovery
+
Airdyne - 100cals for time

Power cleans have become a somewhat foreign movement to me at heavier loads. I realize now that  I probably haven't been training them enough. Squat cleans are just more fun.

A. PC - 285 (10 lbs under my pr but I tried to make sure I got here within 10 minutes) 
Video of the last few reps. Last reps is at about 2:30.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ163X-a_MA 

B. 29 reps @ 255lbs 

I started out too slow thinking they would get harder.  I was getting 3-4 reps per minute (3.4 to be exact) and I got 5 reps in the last minute. I think If I would have tried to do a set every :15 seconds I could have held that pace the whole way through getting around 32 reps.
I also wanted to make sure I didn't end up squat cleaning them.

I. 7 (too heavy to be super intense unless I wanted to chance failing reps)
C. 9 (Because they were heavy I had to think about my pull rather than just mindlessly picking up the bar) 
E. 8 (I over paced it) 


Airdyne - 3:29 

I-9 (it sucked as usual)
C-9 (tried to make sure I didn't burn out too fast, but lost it a bit towards the end)
E-9 (I always feel like I could have tried a bit harder)
