CFP: Clean & jerk 1RM Workout
Warmup:
Junkyard dog warmup; 45# barbell front squat, clean, & jerk warmups.
Don't like the JYD warmup. Especially when you're short & get a long-torso'd partner.
Strength & skill:
25 min to find 1RM clean and jerk (130# clean, 125# jerk)
Really good. I like clean and jerks a lot, so this was very fun for me. Even though I just tested it the other week. Did a bunch of warmups, some at 75#, some 95#, some 115#, a few each. Went for the 125# without realizing until much later that I had 15s on the bar, not 10s. Tried 130# and managed to power clean that OK, but couldn't jerk it overhead even after a few attempts. My closest attempt, I whacked myself in the chin on the way up and lost it. Still, a 5# PR in both lifts, even from last week.
I tried squat cleans but after about 100# I lose good form and fall over, so I kept it to power cleans. I want to work on my squat cleans with heavier weight.
WOD:
3 rounds
5 wall climbs
15 hang power cleans (Rx 135, did 95#)
15 burpees
Finish: 14:35
Very tiring. Wall climbs were bullshit. Power cleans were heavy-ish for me. I don't usually do 95# HPCs in a WOD but I figured I could do it. Broke them into 5s and they were just fine. Burpees also awful but not the worst ones I've ever done. Was soaked with sweat afterward.
