In 6 Minutes work to a max load of Clean and Jerk
Strategy here was to move faster through the D/L's and Snatches and pace the TTB's as efficiently as possible. I knew it would be tough to get 6 full rounds but that was the goal. Unfortunately, I fell just short but I did improve by reps for a score of 174. In the later round I just couldn't maintain my pace on the "fast singles". The people who crushed this workout were people who could maintain sets of kipping TTB's through at least 5 rounds!
On the second part, I wanted at least 255, maybe more. I hit 250 without too much difficulty but surprisingly, I couldn't even make the clean at 255. I guess all that grip stuff really did take it's toll on my forearms.
All in all, I have no reason to feel too disappointed. On the first part, I dealt with one of my weak areas in TTB's and still managed a "decent" score. On the 2nd part, I hit over 95% of my 1RM despite being fatigued. This was good enough to keep me in the running for now but I'm going to have to do better to have any real shot going into the Top-200 workouts.
