Jim, Steve and CrazyWife hit the gym for some Dan John Rapid Ascent.

Power Clean 8-6-4
Two work sets at a weight you can lift 8 times, then 6 times, then 4 times. Increase weight in second work set and do 8, 6, and 4 again. Best way is to work with a partner and rest just as long as it takes them to take their turn.

Shoulder Press 8-6-4
Two work sets

Front Squats 8-6-4
Two work sets

This is a great beginner weightlifting routine if you are just starting out or if you're coming off a long break to get back into it. It's not too heavy and it's not too much volume but it will still kick your butt in a good way. This can be done 3 days a week to build good general strength or 1 day a week to supplement your existing programming.
