A. Front Squat, build to a tough triple

B. Push Press. Push Jerk. Split Jerk, 1.1.1 - build to a max set

C. 3 touch n go Squat Snatch @ 125lb per min for 10 mins

D. EMOM for 10 mins:

5 Thrusters @ 75lbs

5 C2B Chin-ups

*Sub 20 sec per set is goal

A. 205#

B. 175#, push press PR @ 178# but failed the rest of the complex. Took me 2 tries to get 178# and judging by how shaky 175# was, I called it after I failed the push jerk. I was too excited to push press 178# that I think I just lost focus

C. Completed

D. completed, video below. I think it is set 7 i am missing, maybe set 6 or 8, i stopped and started my camera each round so the upload would be faster and i must have not pressed the button to record before one of the sets. felt good, lost rhythm on 1 set of pull ups but oh well.

Weekend Off

I headed up north this weekend to camp with my friends. It had been a while since I have gone out of town, so I really enjoyed myself. I went camping and visited one of my best friends who I do not get to see very often. After a weekend of drinking, sleeping in the back of a pick up truck and eating whatever was easy to bring (donuts, hamburgers, beer, water, chips..) I was ready to get back to working out today. There are many areas I want to work on, push jerks being one of them, so I did some practice of that today. I felt better as I went on, the first few sets were a little sloppy. I have gotten away with being strong for a long time, but now I realize that my form/technique is holding me back in all my max lifts. I need to break old habits and figure out how to fix myself to improve all my lifts. After the Push Jerk Practice, I caught up on yesterday's training from OPT

(grip was the limiting factor on the DL, the set up position and not using an alternate grip made it pretty challenging to keep the bar in my hands.)

Push Jerk, KBS, Pull-Ups

TRAINING:

7 sets for times:
9 push jerk heavy touch and go
12 KBS - 2pd/1.5 pd
15 CTB chin ups

This work out took more out of me than I had thought. 7 rounds and with higher reps was a brutal combo, I was not able to recover in the 4 minutes rest. Chest to bar pullups are difficult for me, but I was glad to practice 105 of them today!

This work out was tough after yesterday's demanding grip work out. The weight became heavy very early on. My goal was around 10 mins, hopefully next time I will be closer.
