My goal for today is the following:

Pack:
Five rounds for time of:
95-115 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
95-115 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps
95-115 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

I can do the deadlifts with 155, but the power cleans I can barely manage with 135, so I'll have to go a bit lighter.

UPDATE:

This workout is amazingly brutal. In fact, I'd say it's the hardest one I've done yet.

Round 1:
135 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
95 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps
95 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

Round 2:
145 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
115 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps
115 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

Round 3:
165 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
115 pound Hang power clean, 6 reps; 95 pounds for 3 reps
145 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

Round 4:
165 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
115 pound Hang power clean, 6 reps; 95 pounds for 3 reps
165 pound Push jerk, 3 reps (almost hurt myself on this one--good thing I had a spotter)

Round 5:
165 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
95 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps
95 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

Total Time: 33:38

Judging by what I saw on the Brand X forums tonight, I'm doing something wrong both with warm-ups and cool-downs. I need to do a better job of both. I'm also slow doing the reps or I'm resting too much based on everyone else's times. However, I did have a lot of weight changing going on so that's probably a large part of it right there. I guess the idea behind this is to be fast, only use the heaviest weight that you can do on the lightest exercise, which in my case is the cleans. Next time this comes around I'm gonna have to review my notes here.
