-Axle Squat Cleans @ 175#
-5 Box Jumps @ 41" between each set
14:01.

After re-evaluating my training following the CrossFit Games Open, I will be focusing much more exclusively on strength in the upcoming months leading up to the 2013 Open.  My plan is to have two strength days in a row, followed by a strongman day in the hopes of greatly increasing my raw strength.  This seems to be by far my biggest weakness at the moment.
