Dumbbell Bear, deadlifts, squat clean PR

I did the Dumbbell Bear yesterday with 30lb bells. 5 deadlifts, 5 power cleans, 5 thrusters every minute for 20 minutes. I like it because your rest time can be increased by decreasing the time spent performing the exercise, so there's an incentive to performing at full capacity. I know I've said it before but it's one of the best workouts I've ever done.

What else have I done, some 5x5 workouts, intense sprint intervals on the elliptical machine. Today I did some 5x5 deadlifts workouts, nothing to write home about but afterwards I tried some squat cleans and was able to do 175 pounds, and that's a new PR.

My right shoulder still gets sore. I feel it's getting better but I've been trying not to do anything to aggravate it. I don't think it's a bad injury or anything, just taking a while to heal.
