Completed the first round in 7min second round in 7:30 and the last round i was so burned on the trusters i done only 10 ? I was fast on the row and cleans but those thrusters destroyed me could only do sets of 5 with the RX weight. I guess that means i have one more thing tou work on.

Yes, rest Thursday then on Friday some activation work, then some sort of low impact interval and lots of mobility. My go to is always:

20 sets of:
30 second Assault Bike @ 75-80%
30 seconds rest

Good luck and keep us posted on how you get on. You’re going to crush it!!

Got to stay disciplined on those cleans! It’s light enough that you can keep the bar moving. You just need to stay disciplined!

Didn’t split jerk today. Still avoiding heavy overhead. So just did “Nuno” at 245 “Nuno” Three rounds for time of: 400 Meter Run 9 Front Squats (245/165 lbs) (barbell must start from the floor – no rack permitted) Time: 13:22 Long story short, my body wasn’t ready for the heavy barbell after taking so much time off. Last time I was 10:46. Did the first round unbroken and it was way harder than it should have been. Second set was 5/4. Third set was 4/5. Didn’t do any damage to my body, but just not ready for this heavy barbell… Read more »

I should be back to normal next week. This is the longest stretch I’ve taken off since I can remember so it can only be expected that I’m a little slow getting back into it.

A. Done B. 275-295-315-325 Same as last week, failed at 330 last week so didn’t attempt it, but honestly had a bit left in the tank on 325 so if we do this again I think I’ll go for it. C. This was awful: 1: 5:51, thrusters just felt like crap, row was 1:18, did cleans in quick sets of 5, cycling much better than I have been. 2: Had five cleans left when the clock hit 16:00 so I finished those and called it a day, row and cleans were right on pace but even breaking the thrusters into… Read more »

Am session: -Tempo FS+2FS: 130-140-150-160-170-175. This is 10 lbs heavier than my max last week! (I failed at 170 last week). It was weird cause I almost fainted during my first attempt at 170lbs, everything around me went dark and I had to drop the bar from mid-way up. Then I realized I was holding my breath from the top of the squat and through the whole tempo!!! repeated with taking a few breaths at the bottom during the 4 seconds, and everything worked out fine…Then to my surprise, I was able to also hit 175 comfortably for tempo+2FS !!!… Read more »

I think the middle piece – power cleans were definitely the hardest part for me, so having them at the end made it pretty bad
