Five days straight this week. Thought it would crush me, but I feel pretty good! Tomorrow we are starting a weekly Grid-like event at our gym so I have to participate in that. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Hang Power Snatch
6x1 Rest as needed
123, 132, 143, 154, 154, 154
I normally would have liked to have gone across with the weights on this one, but I was a little pushed for time this morning so I had to include a few warm-up sets in the six total. To be honest, I was a little distracted on this. I had some work related phone calls that I had to take so it threw off my focus a little.
154, 154, 154
Hang Clean + Push Jerk
6x1 Rest as needed
176, 187, 198, 209, 220, 231
Again, short on time and had to work some warm-up sets into the total. I did the squatting variety hang cleans. Felt fast out of the hole this morning, but the push jerk needs some work.
209, 220, 231
For Time (17:00 Cap)
2000m Row
50 Pistols
30 Hang Power Cleans 205 lbs.
Row + pistols + 20 cleans
What a great workout this is! This was the first regional workout I ever watched, and I learned how to row because of watching. I remember Matt Chan going unbroken on the last 8 hang cleans at 225 and thinking I was watching a superhuman life form. Well, I am no Matt Chan, but I did a lot better than I thought I would on it.
I finished the row in 7:32. Took a few seconds to compose myself and started right in on the pistols. I went 30-10-10 on the pistols and finished at with 6:32 left. Gathered myself, chalked up and picked-up the barbell with 6:00 left. That sucker felt like it weighed 350! All singles, all, I am sure, pretty ugly, and I was only able to get 20 of them. Although I am pretty happy with the outcome, it is very humbling to see the level of athlete that is out there that can finish this workout with a heavier load and in the 11:00-12:00 range.
