Bodyweight row on rings
+40lbs x 8 x 3
Played around with some one arm snatches and windmills with 95, 115, and 135. Which after all that was probably not a good idea but I managed to nail a 1 arm snatch with 135 and then grab a 32kg bell 2 hands anyhow style.

Day 2 of this training block went like this:
Note: Before each training session I will be doing a combination of Power snatches and overhead squats with a bar going up to 70-80kgs depending on how I feel.
Pullup:
10lbs x 5
20lbs x 5
30lbs x 5
40lbs x 5
45lbs x 10
(I didn't think I would get nearly that many reps as I haven't trained weighted pullups for a while, but, then again, the TSC results were a nice surprise too)
Ring Pushup
20lbs x 10
40lbs x 10
40lbs + Purple JS Band x 10 x 2 (Brutal!)
After each set of push ups I knocked off 10 double swings with a pair of 40s to head height.
Finished with some 48kg one arm swings supersetted with burpees
Another good day, still a bit sore from monday deadlifts.

Tactical Strength Challenge--The Return!
So I decided to test myself, I have no appreciable injuries and I was only a little bit lazy. Here are my scores:
Deadlift: 525
I was very happy with this deadlift because I haven't pulled that heavy in a lonnnggg time. First attempt was at 495 and that felt really good so went straight to 515 and then 525. My form was ugly, no doubt, but this is a MAX MAX lift. 10 lbs shy of triple bodyweight.
Pullups @ 22lbs x 16. This was not great but I'm still ok with it. I actually rested for a good 30 seconds hanging from the bar and squeaked out 2 more reps--probably not smart as it torched my grip for snatches.
5:00 Snatch test @ 32kg
109 reps--Very happy with this, I must confess that my form was less than crisp but I was focusing on easy breathing and flow. It worked out to my favor because I can actually walk today. I also used a GS bell, smaller handle made this much easier.
