Cleans, MetCon and a New PR Workout

I won’t lie. I was really looking forward to tonight’s class because we were going for a new 1RM on cleans. I don’t know why but I freaking love cleans. They’re, hands down, my favorite lift.

Anyway, the body was a little tired from the 4:21 AM alarm and the 5 AM strength training class but I was pumped.

Warm Up:
All Skate (chose push ups, squats, handstand holds, pull up bar hangs)

Mobility:
Shoulders
Sit in a squat for 1 minute

Max Effort:
Power Cleans, Baby!
190 lbs (PR, +5 lbs)

MetCon:
8 minute AMRAP
10 Thrusters @ 65 lbs
90 Jump Ropes
10 Inverted Burpees (start standing, do a roll up squat, stand fully tall, go into a handstand, come down, stand tall, start effing over)

Inverted burpees are a pain in the ass and take forever.
