5ish sets of high pulls with 215 axle

Clean once and strict press
215 x 1
180 x 7, 5+1 push-press
160 x 8 + 10 overhead shrugs

Kroc rows
125 dumbbell x 25

Kettlebell high pulls
50s x 20

Many failed attempts at getting 215 secure on my chest. Kept getting it pulled high but couldn't quite shelf it until one successful set, and by that time my pressing power was impacted. All good though, got a lot of high pulls done in that case! There may come a point eventually when I want to separate racked strict pressing and sets of cleans to maximize my 1rm press but just wrangling the weight around is going to build brute strength and right now I just like the idea of starting everything from the floor.

Made up for the lack of pressing by going heavy in my assistant work.

Ending with Kroc rows after all that would been nasty enough but the kettlebell set was just plain rude.
