  • 20 minutes of: odd minutes: 3 reps Jerk & even minutes: 3 reps of DL Workout

    M/ 38/ 134 lbs/ 5'-6"
    20 minutes of:
    odd minutes: 3 reps of Jerk (started with 145 lbs & ended with 155 lbs)
    even minutes: 3 reps of DL (started with 245 lbs & ended with 255 lbs)
    my lower back was pretty tight, but was really focusing on speed and keeping the weight on the posterior and the hamstrings mostly. My back was a bit tight from the cleans yesterday I guess. I also did a bunch of squat cleans after that night's clean WOD.

    This felt better as the WOD went on.

    I warmed up with:
    75 lbs press/PP/PJ
    95 lbs DL super slow and low
    95 lbs PP/ PJ/ Split Jerk
    135 lbs DL slow and in super control and then at the end a few fast ones to get the body going
    115 lbs PJ/ split jerk to get used to the split footwork
    185 lbs DL with a bit of speed concentrating on the weight on the posterior & hamstrings
    135 lbs PJ/ split jerk
    225 lbs DL
