Thanks for all the great feedback yesterday! It's easy to get into a rhythm of doing things a certain way, hearing ideas from the community is a great way to try and keep programming fresh.
CFSBK wishes a speedy recovery to Matt U who sustained a pectoral injury last night Bench Pressing. Get well soon, Matt!!

Training-wise, what is something you'd like to see more of at CFSBK?
Perform 3 sets of the following complex for a maximal weight.
6 Deadlifts
3 Mid Hang Power Cleans
1 Push Jerk
You have 5 attempts to find a best complex. The bar may be dropped from overhead after the jerk but must be regripped and pulled shortly after it settles.
Post 5 attempts to comments.
If you're feeling beat up, consider scaling the volume back to three attempts and using lighter loads.
