B. 155/165/175/185/195 then 175,175,185,185,195,195.

We all dislike doing things that make us uncomfortable…all the more reason to do it 🙂

How did 20.4 go on Friday?

Pretty good. I finished in 15:39. I finished the 115# bar in 6:15. But the pistols took me so long. I just can’t do them fast. So I was happy with how it went.

You’re making it really hard for yourself as you have to work so hard to stand the bar up as it’s outfront. As you pass your knee you need to sweep the bar back and fully extend before you pull yourself under the bar. Think about getting your shoulders to finish further behind your ears before you pull yourself under the bar. That way you’ll receive the bar better and have more in the tank for your jerk.
