"Total tension complex" from Pavel, emphasis on squats, using a ladder format as follows:

24 kgs DB CL, DB PR, DB SQ, singles of the CL and PR and went sets of 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 for the squats.

After each set, a Renegade Row with the off hand on a box, using the 24kg, 1/1 (7 total sets)

Total of 7 DB CL, DB PR, and 16 reps of the DB SQ with the 24kgs - this is a deload from using DB 28kg and going up to a top ladder of 6

Finisher - 1 minute rack walk with the DB 24kgs (that was a bitch)

9:50pm - Complete

Notes -  Obviously a very unusual day for me, was in Spokane working and consciously decided to wait to train until getting home which had me training very late at night, since I do not have good access to KBs in Spokane.  I could have used the commercial gym in the morning and done all sorts of stuff, but I was very curious how a deload on the total tension complex would feel and did not want to miss training with the bells.  I was just simply stunned because these DB 24kgs felt LIGHT.  The first clean flew up so quick I actually had to stop the bells from nearly going over my shoulders.  Wow.  What am awesome feeling to move weights like this on a "deload" week that definitely in the not that distant past were challenging.  I remember doing DB 24kg squats for sets of 5 and just being blasted.  Not so anymore.  So cool.  Looking forward to training with Kevin on Friday, I think we might do a snatch test.....
