Forgot to post these the other day(s).

A: Hang power clean, heavy double
- 185# – Heavy, heavy, heavy. On the second rep, I had to drop into a full squat, so I guess it doesn’t really count. Or does it?
B: 7 minutes, AMRAP
- 7 hang power cleans (135#)
- 7 burpees over the bar
4 + 8 – Rx weight was 155#, but I’m pretty sure there was no way I was going to be able to put in as much work with that weight. I feel pretty okay about my effort and numbers, although I need to fix some timing issues with my cleans. I am dropping under the bar too soon, so it just crashes onto my collarbones/neck. Instead, I should be getting under the bar faster, but later, so that the bar is just starting to rest on my delts as I ride the bar down into the power or squat position.

A: Push press
- 5-5-5-5-5 // 135# – Oooooof. For five reps, this was really heavy. Amazing how much more strain you’re under/how much more taxing it is when doing just 2 reps more.
B: For time
- 50 wall balls (20#)
- 1000m row
- 50 wall balls (20#)
10:42 Rx – I guess getting sub-10:30 would have been nice, but this was hard as it is. Probably could have gone harder on the wall balls, but I haven’t yet figured out my breathing since you’re torso is in a compact position at the bottom of the wall balls.
C: 1-mile run
- Took it easy, didn’t keep an eye on the clock. Just sprinted from the bottom of David C. Francis on the way back to CFR to finish the run. A little harder than I thought it’d be, but I suppose 100 wall balls will do that to you.
