Saturdays and yesterdays work kicked my butt:
Went in today with my tail between my legs.
A. worked on strict muscle ups- got 6-8 that would likely be no reps but it was a start-
B, cleaned up to 245- focused on technique – keeping weight in heels
c. 8:51 did 70 cals on a schwinn then 14 C2B and 24 ring dips then 30×135 thrusters. -slowly trying to get back to C2B pull ups- the first two attempts are like a knife in the armpit and after a bit they feel back to normal.
D. skipped

Hey guys I just signed up and looking at 31st of May with the clean EMOM what is 1.1?
Does that just mean 1 clean?
And is there a % to do it at?

1.1 means two singles, 10 or so seconds apart. s for the weight, just build up so that it gets difficult. Good luck!!

1.1 means 2 cleans with a :10 rest in between. I am new as well and asked about percentages. Most said to just work up to a challenging weight with good form. My goal was to have no misses so my last round ended around 85% of my 1rm. Hope this helps.

I’m still being very careful with calf injury but I did get in a very slow 1/2 mile jog before and after workout. Have a nice day all!
