Clean and Jerk / Clean

I wanted to clean tonight!

Clean and Jerk
1-1-1-1-1

THEN

Power Clean
1-1-1-1-1

The goal was to keep the weight steadily going up for all 10 rds. (no drastic jumps)

It was a good one, but I've officially plateaued at my max on both of these.

Run / Bar Muscle-up / Stone / Sandbag Bear Complex

I wanted a good long AMRAP and a run. I put this bad boy together, and it did very nicely!

20 minute AMRAP
400m run
Bar muscle-up 1,2,3...
Atlas stone 155#ish. 1,2,3...  (over the shoulder)
Sandbag Bear complex 100#ish. 1,2,3... (Shoulder to shoulder, not front to back)

This WOD felt pretty good. It was enough to wear me out, but I'd either push for 25 minutes, or shorten up the run.



In this video, about 20 seconds in, you can see a few guys doing sandbag bear complexes, but they are going front-to-back. In this WOD, go shoulder to shoulder.

High Wall Balls / GHD / Weighted Pullups

I was getting a bit bored with the "typical" movements, so I changed it up tonight.

3rft:
27 wall balls 20# 11' target
18 GHD
9 weighed pullup 35#

I was a bit shocked that changing up a couple things could throw off my timing so much! Highly recommended.

7 Thrusters 135#
7 Knees to Elbows

Toes to Bar
Sandbag Squat 100#ish
