Linda AKA "Three Bars of Death"

"Linda" AKA "Three Bars of Death"
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

Pack:
Scale the weight back
Used
Deadlift: 60kg
Dumbbell floor press: 20kg (all I have when using 2 dumbells)
Dumbell Clean: 14kg

I tried for Pack, but the logistics did me in.

I abandoned this one in complete and utter frustration at 18 minutes after completing the set of 7 reps. I caught myself about to launch a dumbbell at the side of the house.

The lifts were fine.

I don't have a bench and I used the dumbbells for floor presses and cleans. I spent almost all the time changing dumbbell plates.
I'm afraid I have a cold and I'm not thinking straight or I would have realised that using barbells for the cleans would have meant only changing two sets of plates, and I have my new cam action collars, while doing db cleans means changing 4 plates using screw-lock collars that cross thread constantly.

At least I did something I guess. I'm very disappointed with myself.

I'll work out a better way to do them next time.
