I’m beat….
Yeah yesterday was awesomely brutal. Got a nice beat down while also working on some weaknesses: oly lifts.
1) 7:47 @ 85#
2) 5rds + 2 @ 115#
Much needed rest day.
What a workout!!
I surprised myself on #1 and finished at 6:11. I worked with Kelly and we stuck to the bar for the snatches (33#) because the volume was so high. I felt like my form stayed decent — much better than I did at Hope this past summer, at which I did 35# snatches, so that was a good improvement. I did step-ups on to about 15″ because my knee had been bothering me.
I split the squat clean into a power clean and front squat. I did 43# (would have done 53# for just power cleans, front squats are limiter). Even the barfees didn’t seem bad compared to squats! Finished 5 rounds and 1 clean and squat.
I felt pretty good about my performance, which is always the toughest part!
