The Good the Bad and the....not so pretty!

The Good:
Yesterday we did Lynne - Max rep Body weight Bench Press/Pullups - 5 round.  Ok - body weight bench press...that's a bit of a concept, fortunately, I have plenty of time to wrap my mind around it before it becomes a reality.  Instead, I did the BP at 125.  Got in 11/8/8/8/6.  So, I feel good about that.  Although I'm still a bit puzzled about how I can do 11 at 125, but can't manage to eek out 3 at 145.  GRRRR.  Pullups were red band, jumping....got in an average of 10 per round.  I can't wait to be outta the bands!
The Bad:
Hang Power Cleans...3/3/3/3/3.  Have I mentioned lately that I hate cleans?  HA! yes, I know this is a frequent chant of mine....unfortunately, it is very true.  I find them extremely awkward, and funky....you would think by now I'd be getting used to them..but alas, no.    I did 75/85/95/105 - "pulled a Patty", completely got into my head, couldn't come close to the move. Ended  up doing this set as pull from the floor squat cleans.  Last set went back down to 95.
I'm not really thinking the form was that good...in fact, I would bet it was a bit wonky - especially the last coupla sets.
The not so pretty.....
Today, I have he legs from hell. Basically, it feels like someone took 2 big slabs of meat, beat the living crap out of them, then somehow, connected them to my nervous system and stapled them to the front of my legs. In other words, they are in more pain than I recall feeling in a VERY long time. In theory, it's a good pain, but when you moan and groan just trying to sit down....it's really not so good. Not to this degree at least. All thank you to those blasted jumping squats!  Seriously, need to send the genius who created that to the looney bin!
