3 Rounds for time of:
10 Dumbbell squat cleans (Men 45 lb dumbbells, Women 30 lb dumbbells)
20 Dumbbell push press
30 Lateral jumps over bench
My time: 13:48, not rx at all
I started out thinking I would do this as Rx'd. Then I realized that doing squat cleans with those heavy DB's, there was no way I'd be doing lateral jumps over the bench when my legs start to fatigue. I was able to do them in the warm up, but it was a close call a few times and I wasn't even exhausted yet. So...I decided to jump over a barbell, and still do the Rx weights.
Well, well, well. I got into the workout, did 10 squat cleans, and then struggled to lock out on the second push press, so I scaled to 20# weights. Still a tough WOD and still kicked my butt! Whew!!!
Wendler Shoulder Press
warm up sets: 5-5-3 @ 35-40-45
work sets: 3-3-3 @ 60-70-80
Had to fight for that third rep at 80. Wow!!!

Dumbbell workouts are always such a crap shoot for me too -- I feel like I never know what load I'll be able to handle. It varies so much more than with just the barbell. And I gotta say DB push presses are a challenge for me as well, I don't know what it is!
ReplyDeleteShoulder presses are looking good! I am seriously considering a Wendler cycle after our next move in November...
