dumbbell complex

Five rounds of:
5 Dumbbell deadlifts
5 Dumbbell hang cleans
5 Dumbbell push presses
5 Dumbbell squats

Increase the load each round. Rest as necessary between rounds.

35#
45#
50#
55# (reset after 1st press)
60# (reset after 1st, 3rd, and 4th press)

Reset=set the weight down. The presses were hard to get up. With the 60# on the third press, I was only able to lock out my left arm, so I concentrated more on my right arm on the next press and only got my right arm.

35# was easy. 45# was manageable, but I knew adding weight each time would be a challenge. Maybe I should've dropped down weight after "failing" on the 55#, but I wanted to get it done, even if it meant breaking it up.
