  • Mainsite 120404 30x155# Squat Clean & Jerks Workout

    155 pound Squat Clean and Jerk, 30 reps The barbell goes from ground to overhead, passing through a front squat in which the crease of the hip passes below the height of the kneecap. The finish position is with the arms, hips and knees fully extended, arms overhead, with at least a portion of the ear visible in front of the arm. Dropping the barbell is acceptable.

    I went into this knowing I would do all singles. I could've scaled to 135 or less to make this a Grace style wod and shoot for sub 5 but I wanted to test my strength on this one. I wanted to see how that many reps with that weight would feel at the end. Very happy with this!

    Time 10:35

  • Tornado Watch Workout

    7x2 (2 powerclean/1 jerk)

    Reps of 10-8-6-4-2
    Deadlift 165/245

    Box jumps scare the poop out of me! So I scaled it down to a 24 inch box instead of 28. That was a big deal for me. Everything else was RX. I liked this one.

    About to go back into the gym to work on gymnastics skills and maybe do yesterday's WOD since I missed it due to resting.
