"Bradley"
So I'm guessing this is someone's birthday workout. Who actually likes burpees and pull ups? I can't imagine it being either of the Brads I know!
10 rounds for time of:
Sprint 100 meters
10 Pull-ups
Sprint 100 meters
10 Burpees
Rest 30 seconds
My time: 28:34 - 8 rounds, scaled as follows
Sprint 100m
7 pull-ups
Sprint 100m
7 burpees
rest 30 seconds
I was initially going for 10 rounds but around 20 minutes I figured a 30 min AMRAP would have to do. It was plenty of workout for me today! The humidity added a degree of difficulty, making my hands slippery on the pull-up bar. And as much as I hate to say it, the burpees became almost a welcome relief because I knew I'd get to rest afterward.
I have kind of missed these longer workouts, honestly!
The strength component today was Squat Clean & Jerk.
Did a few warm up sets at 55 lbs
then 1 each at 65-85-115
I have to say the Squat Clean is probably my favorite thing to do with a barbell. I just love the feeling of getting under the bar, having it land squarely on my shoulders and bouncing back out of that squat. Just makes me feel powerful and strong, I guess. Now if I could get more confident with the jerk...
