Any inputs on how far to extend Resisted Running?

PM Session

1. Calisthenics Warm-up
2. MaxW Pulls on the C2 x3 – Got up to 856 (PB) – I appear to hit Max at around my 8th pull – but extend Max Effort through 10 pulls – and will keep extending that. Measuring by Wattage (Instead of distance/time) is a very interesting way to observe progress, observe when energy systems begin failing etc. Until I started doing rows this way, I would just go row (for example) 500m all out – in say 1:23. I thought I was going all out the entire time, where reality tells me I was probably progressing to 820W or so by 15 seconds, and then dropping off by 5-6w per pull for the next 60 seconds (or 30 pulls).

3. Power Cleans – 10×3 working up to last 7 at 205 (73%)
4. Super Set – 5×5 – planned 6×5 but didn’t have it
a. Pause Squat – 140/160/180/190/190
b. Pause Bench – 140/160/180/190/190
5. Complex – 2×11
a. RDL – 230
b. Sit Position Pull-ups
c. Hanging Abs

Having some serious problems with my right wrist/hand – In either the scaphoid, lunate, or capitate . Thinking It is from my catch on cleans. It’s exhibiting stress fracture-like pain. That would really suck, as it would impede my ability to shot put, and I was planning on really focusing on SP this year. Although with wrist appropriately wrapped, I probably don’t produce enough force to really damage it.

Am I reading this right you did 10 sets of 3 at 205 for pc that’s a lot of volume.
