Today we did "death by 10 meters" for the warm-up. I made it through round 11 or 12, but I opted out of the 5 burpee penalty, and just jogged back and forth while the others finished up through round 14.
Strength was power cleans. I much prefer squat cleans, but I obviously need some practice on power cleans. We haven't spent much time working this lift (or the jerk) lately, and I can certainly tell I need more work. I missed a load (twice) today that would've been no problem for me several months ago. After the first attempt, I let it get in my head an there was no way I was making that lift. So I squat cleaned it just to avoid feeling completely defeated.
My reps/loads: 5-3-2-2-1-1-1 @ 65-85-105-115-125-130(f)-130(f) 130 squat clean
In between sets we did HSPU, same rep scheme. I used two abmats
Then the WOD
As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
3 Power cleans (Men 205#, Women 135# or 75% of 1 RM)
6 Handstand push-ups
9 Box jump on and over (Men 24” box, Women 20” box)
My rounds: 5 + 5 hspu
I went with 105# - my 1RM is 135. Used 2 abmats for HSPU and stepped up/over box instead of jumping. The cleans felt better and lighter each round. How does that work? Ha! I think I was just concentrating more on finishing and being fast toward the end. Makes a huge difference.
Fun morning!
