Cleans, Presses, and Clean & Squat Press

Using a pair of 53# kettlebells, perform two-arm Cleans and Presses in the following manner:

01 Clean 10 Presses
02 Cleans 9 Presses
03 Cleans 8 Presses
04 Cleans 7 Presses
05 Cleans 6 Presses
06 Cleans 5 Presses
07 Cleans 4 Presses
08 Cleans 3 Presses
09 Cleans 2 Presses
10 Cleans 1 Press

Having a few minutes left before I had to prepare for work, I decided to use a pair of the 62# k-bells and knock out a set of 10 Clean & Press Squats. This is an extremely demanding exercise, involving Cleans, Presses, and Squats, essentially every muscle in the body.

The first set did not go very well. I was feeling it and quit at rep number seven, so after a brief rest, I hoisted them up and began once again. My form became a little sloppy at rep number eight, so I had to concentrate my every movement. After arriving at 10 reps, I felt good about the workout that I had put together in the short amount of time that I had. Now it's time to get ready for work.
