Big Cleans

1pm @ RNCF

3 x Skill Work
10 x Strict HSPU (these were supposed to be Ring HSPU, but I got scared...)
5 x Butterfly Pull-ups
7 x Russian KB Swings (70lb)

Clean & Jerk
15 minutes to find 1RM
2 x 85
2 x 115
2 x 135
1 x 155
1 x 165
1 x 180 (PR!!!) 
1 x 190 (JUST CLEAN - CLEAN PR!!!)
1 x 200 (fail x 3)


180# Clean & Jerk

190# Clean 

NOTES: I was super pumped about this lift! This is the first time my clean has felt stronger than my jerk.  I need to focus on keeping my core tight during my jerks - it's really taking a toll on my back.

Back Squat
1RM
1 x 125
1 x 175
1 x 210
1 x 220

NOTES: I was a little hesitant on this lift today. I was a little distracted by all the work I had to do after this.

'DT'
5 RFT
12 Dead lifts (105)
9 Hand Power Cleans (105)
6 Push Jerk (105)

TIME: 8:46
NOTES: The last time I did this, like 4+ months ago, I got 13:00.  Needless to say, this was a huge improvement. I was able to do all my DLs unbroken.  I did the hang cleans either 5-4 or 3-3-3.  I did the push jerks either 4-2 or 3-3. I took rest in between all the sets.

15 minutes rest

Old Regional WOD:
1000m Run (tredmill)
30 HSPU
1000m Row

TIME: 10:34
NOTES: I ran on the treadmill because it was down pouring. I did the HSPU in 10-10-5-5. I probably could have gone a little faster, but some random dude decided he wanted to stand right in front of me. I think the run was like 4:2?, I took less than a minute to do the HSPU, and then my row was 4:25.  I clearly need a lot of work on my rowing.

Rest 10 minutes

16 minutes
Even minutes: 8 UB Toes to Bar
Odd minutes: 10 UB Box Jumps (24")

NOTES: This was all about working on efficiency and technique. I felt good on these.  Nothing felt too difficult. I actually ended up taking less rest on the last four rounds because I didn't want to wait.


After my workout, I went to a massage therapist that specialized in Chinese medicine. She did some 'cupping' on my lower back, and this is what my back looks like now.  I feel like I got hickies from a weird space alien.




Cheers to better posture!
