Gear:
None / no belt
Power Clean + Standing Overhead Press:
235 x 1/1/1/1 (4 singles)
245 x 1 (~PR)
~ means that I've hit a 245 Power Clean and a 245 Standing Overhead Press separately, just never together. It felt ridiculously easy. I finally figured out where the second pull should be and how to meet the bar as it drops down.
Rippetoe-Style Standing Overhead Press:
215 x 3
205 x 4/4/4
Overhead Squat:
135 x 8/5/5
Legs are too fried from yesterday to do Front Squats, so just did Overhead Squats. Strangely enough, my overhead lockout gave out after 8 reps (Kyle saw this happen).

Holding that shit overhead with your rear delts/traps is much harder than it seems at first. Takes some getting used to.
Damn Phil, you now OH Press more than I bench. It is a sad day.
Also, your arms may have given out b/c of the heavy pressing that you did earlier in the workout.
Ya holding an overhead squat for 8 reps way harder on your arms/shoulders/upper back than you think it will be. It's definitely the limiting factor for me for doing reps too. Also, it makes my wrists hurt to hold it so long.
