Nice work Barry. Did you do the DLs at 225?
Yes!
You inspired me. Was going to scale to 185 but tried the 225 and felt good today. Did both DUs and DLs UB all rounds!
Well done!
A.
1. 65#
2. BTN jerks, 5 sets at 110#, 5 sets at #117
3. Jerk rec. Interesting. I played around working up in weight until I figured it out enough to be more confident. 135-150-165#
B. 115#
C.
1. DLs felt heavy today. All dubs unbroken, DLs 2×5
2. 40-50 seconds
3. 22# training bar. These felt good
4. All runs 45-50 seconds
Will try for gymnastics later after soccer practice.
A1. 40/60/80/100kg
A2. 100kg x10 reps
B. 3×8 at 100kg
Calve still sore and short of time so:
12 mins AMRAP:
12 dB hang c&j
12 burpees
12 1 arm OH alt lunges
Just shy of 7 rounds (8 lunges)
A1. Drop to Split (135/135/145/145)
A2. BTN Jerk (185/185/190/190/195/195/200/200/205/205)
A3. Not sure how to set this up – cant do it on the rig like the video shows. So skipped
B. 195#
C. Done – 275# was very manageable. I think the stiff legged DL’s have really helped. Enjoyed it!
I found a video where they used ‘safety arms’ on the rigging. That would probably work for you.
Thanks Barry – I will look for that video!
