"Linda" aka Three Bars of Death

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
- Deadlift 1.5 x BW (275-lbs)
- Bench Press BW (185-lbs)
- Clean 3/4 BW (135-lbs)

The gym was packed tonight and we got started kinda late. We had to keep switching weights and waiting for each other to finish an exercise, which translated to alot of wasted time. I was about to start the round of 5's when the gym closed, so I only completed 40 reps of each. Which was terrible in itself. On a positive note (the only one I think), I was able to complete each set of Bench Press unbroken...a huge leap for me.

Time through 5 rounds: ~43-minutes

I REALLY hate the "Three Bars of Death," my power-weight ratio sucks so bad, especially on the bench, that this becomes a really long evolution. There were 4 of us rotating through, so the total time is a little bit high, but I don't think it'd be more than an extra 10 minutes. Who knows though. The only good thing is that I did more weight on the bench (since I weigh more), and I only needed a spot on maybe 5 reps - MUCH better than last time.

Total Time: 1-hour
