This was somewhere between humbling and humiliating.
1.) Conditioning
Grace: 30 x Clean & Jerk [135]
TIME = 9:03
I should have done this at a lighter weight to focus on speed. Instead I went anaerobic about 12 reps in and then crashed big time. Clearly need to work on barbell conditioning (and overall conditioning).
Next time I’ll do this at a light 95 as a benchmark and work up from there trying to keep it around 5 min.
2.) Barbell Conditioning / Strength
5 sets of the following complex:
- 5 reps push press
- 5 reps front squat
- 5 reps thruster
All 15 reps use the same weight, and you can’t put the barbell down until all 15 reps are done. Rest 3 min between complexes.
RESULT: 65, 75, 85, 95, 100
Still feeling the effects of Grace big time on this one. The thrusters are what killed me. Shoulders were toasted during the thrusters, and I was also feeling some conditioning pain. Pleased just to get through this on a day like today :).
