Cheers mate, big sets of hspu have been a big weakness so I was trying to save some energy for them but they turned out to be pretty easy, so I guess they aren’t really a weakness anymore haha

Up to 245 for hang cleans
All pulls done at 275
Wod
1 round draft + 20 dead lifts
Still have a cold. Would be cool to see how I do when I’m not sick and tired from the whole week of lifting.
Last year on the wod similar to this I gassed at hspu so progress is progress. Wasn’t it a 14 min amrap? Little shorter but the wb are faster than burpees and lighter so I think the words are comprable…

A. I wasn’t looking forward to cleans from blocks but I ended up liking it. It forced me to open up! Ended with 145#. B. Pulls done at 175# C. 1 rounds plus 18 deadlifts.
