* ladders 3-5 rested 1 minute between 5 rungs and 7 rungs
* form looked GREAT! 
*I had no banging of my forearms on the clean and good tension on the press =)
Swings
* knew I didn't have it this morning to do 9 minutes of 45/15 with the 20kg so I just did one round of that
* 9 minutes is tough - made it through by the skin of my teeth!!!!

* whole workout took exactly an hour! I was surprised since I rested so much during the c&p's and rested a full 5 minutes before I started the swings! I think doing the 3,5,7 is faster for the heavy day - and I like it better!
