Today started the 1st day of Brandon's training following the 2 weeks of testing.  I started with box squats(the knee is slowly getting better) and I set the box just below parallel.  This was a cluster of 2-2-2 with 20second rest after each set of 2.  Then 3 minutes after each cluster.  I did 4 clusters total at:
155lbs, 170, 185 and 200.  Then I did 4 x 3 squat cleans(not touch and go) at 70-80% of my max.  I did build each set - 145, 150, 155, 160.  Wrapping my knee allowed for more depth and stability with my left knee.  Then the last part of the workout was:
- 20 Thrusters @95
- 10 Lateral Bar Burpees
- 15 Thrusters @115
- 10 Lateral Bar Burpees
- 10 Thrusters @135
- 10 Lateral Bar Burpees

The thrusters were very tough.  The round @95 really kicked me - did 10, 6 and then 4.  The 135 round did mostly rounds of 2.  I could barely jump over the bar for the 10 laterals.  So day 1 is in the books.  Time to rest for Tuesday.
