Bench press: 5 x 3 @ 95# plus bands

First time using the bands. Was difficult to lock out the weight, but it was a neat change-of-pace. Definitely showed that I'm lacking explosive power on pressing movements. Should probably incorporate more dips into my workouts.

METCON: "DT"
Complete 5 rounds of:

155# deadlift, 12 reps
155# hang power clean, 9 reps
155# push jerk, 6 reps

34.14

Absolutely brutal workout. Deadlifts weren't difficult. Cleans were heavy, but the biggest issue was grip strength. Actually missed a few reps on the last set because the bar was slipping down towards my fingers. Most difficult part was pressing the weight overhead. Didn't miss any reps, but had to take my time.
