Friday June 7, 2013

A. Split Jerk: Work up to heavy single
     - Worked up to 250. Still way off my PR and starting to get frustrated. My form is pretty well dialed in right up until I hot about 245. That's when little flaws in technique start to get exposed because I'm not strong enough to overcompensate for them. I think my issues are timing and aggressiveness getting under the barbell.

B1. Front Squat Cluster, 2.2.2 @ 195#
     - These felt a little better than last week....but not much. Feeling really weak at Front Squatting compared to where I was about 6 months ago.

B2. Muscle-Up Cluster, 2.2.2.2
     - God, do I suck at these right now!! I'm pretty good at the pull-up and transition but feel so weak on the dip press-out!!
     - I got through my first set fine. Missed on my last rep on second cluster and then my third cluster was a CLUSTER-fuck, lol!!

C. The "Horrible Hundred"
     For time of...
     - 25 Deadlift @ 215#, strip 45's off barbell then,
     - 25 Squat Clean Thruster @ 125#, strip 25's off barbell then,
     - 25 Thruster @ 75#, strip 15's off barbell then,
     - 25 OHS @ 45#

     - Yeah, yeah....this was one of those -  "this looks fun, let me try this!" workouts. And yes it was fun...and tough. The Squat Clean Thrusters were, of course the worst part of this. I decided to try to drop every rep and get right back on the bar. This worked OK for the most part but I was probably pretty slow on the last 10 reps. The 75# thrusters were embarrassingly tough and I did not get through them unbroken. The OHS's were easy-ish.
     - Final time was 8:16. Really should have aimed to break 8:00 on this one....easily doable.
