Clean and Jerk!

So today I was inspired by the workout that one of my trainers did. He got it from OPT, although it's only one of the two they were supposed to do that day - I felt it to be a good challenge.

Workout:
25 x Clean (real clean, with squat) + Jerk @ 80 kg.

Since my old powerclean record is 92.5, I knew this was going to be hard.

Times (deltas) (5 x 5)
02:27 - 2:27
05:46 - 3:19
09:02 - 3:26
12:14 - 3:12
15:14 - 3:00

I think I had a pretty good tempo once I got through the first 5 ones. I could probably have held a tempo of avg 2:40 instead of avg 3:15. My goal was simply to live through the workout so I ran a pretty low tempo and tried to rest a little between each rep. It worked out fine, though I can probably push myself down towards 13 minutes or maybe even better.

I fel like that wasn't really enough, so I did:
10x pullup,
5x knees-to-elbows
10x dip
3x behind-head pullup

and 2 rounds of that (no time).

And had some extra time, so I did 1km row at 3:29. I was pretty worn out though so I couldn't keep a higher tempo.
