WOD

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
95 pound Clean and Jerk, 15 reps
Run 400 meters

Total - Three rounds!

Scaled like this 75#x10 hang power clean & jerk. Bike 900m (not stationary). The weight was higher than the BrandX "Pack," but the reps were for "Puppies."

Wow! this one kicked my butt. I wasted a lot of energy on the jerks and had to muscle the weight up with my arms on many reps. I was wiped out and had to break it into sets of 5 or fewer. I'll feel this tomorrow.

Clean and jerks are a tough movement because they require two explosive movements. The clean to the shoulder, then the actual press. Twice the opportunity to gas you. Don't worry about it kicking your butt... it means that you were workin hard, not hardly workin'! :)

Nice job. I was pouring sweat after this one. I also noticed how much better my cleans are getting.

When it's difficult but you've trained the form - the details become "easy." My cleans were decent too Splint!

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
