Bending Bars!

(Not Really...)

Snatch Pull to hips + Full Snatch

15:00 Max

Worked up to 165 lbs.

Trying to lose an early arm bend.  This seemed to help.  Not the greatest snatches, but they felt okay.

154, 165, 165

HBBS

2-2-2 Tempo 30X1

Rest 3:00 between sets

305, 325, 355

These felt pretty good.  The second rep at 355 was a battle.

325, 355

Open 11.3

AMRAP 5

Clean & Jerks 165 lbs.

31 Rounds (62 reps)

Workout partner: We are only doing 5 minutes of clean & jerks?  What are we going to do after we are done?

Me: Lie on the floor for 10 minutes.

Him: I mean, what are we doing for the workout after we are done with the clean and jerks?

Me: Talk to me in 5 minutes.

I thrustered every last one of these suckers.  Started off blazing by getting 10 the first minute.  By rep 13 or 14, my facial expression began to change and the pace slowed considerably.  Cleans felt great. The thruster part got pretty difficult in there somewhere!  I was kinda hoping for 35, but overall, I am pretty happy with this.

Video is here.  I don't know why it won't let me embed, unless there is a copyright issue with some of the old school rap playing in the background...
