There Will Be Sweat

CFSB Day 156

Warmed up with an easy 3 min on the rower followed by some DROMS with the class. Then we did a mini barbell complex of deadlift, hang power clean, push press. After that we spent 20 minutes working up to a heavy single rack jerk.

Rack Jerk:

• 3 x 135lb
• 3 x 155lb
• 1 x 175lb
• 1 x 195lb
• 1 x 205lb *FAIL*
• 1 x 205lb (PR)

First time I’ve ever got more than 200lb overhead but I had way more in me. I wore my weightlifting shoes and felt very stable today, just ran out of time.

Grace:

• 30 Clean & Jerks (135lb)

Time: 2:46 (PR). This is a 9 second improvement from the last time I did Grace. My strategy was to just go hard with no pacing. I didn’t bail at all on the first 10 and they were pretty quick (~30 sec) but then I started dropping the bar after every rep and it really slowed me down. Also took a 5 sec breather somewhere in the middle that I wish I could get back.
