2 x 8 at 40kg
2 x 5 at 43kg
1 x 5 at 46kg
Felt pretty good!
Then did 35kg on the bar with muscle up practice – 8:13
2 x 8 @ 40kg
2 x 5 @ 43kg
1 x 5 @ 46kg
32.5kg clean & jerks. messy jerk technique – cheers for the pointers Rosey! felt like I got better as I went along. used lowered rings for MU progressions. finished in 7:04. would attempt 35kg next time to try & improve/get used to jerking a bit heavier. have a tendency to press when it gets heavier – which is silly because i’m pretty sure this is harder?!
Good session this morning
A: 2 x 8 @ 100
2 x 5 @ 110
1 x 5 @ 120
B: 50kg – still not feeling the movement properly. MU progessions – 9:11.
Not sure what’s harder, lifting repeated heavy weights, or trying to figure out what 65% of 85kg is before 6am!
A: 2 x 8 @ 55kg; 2 x 5 @ 60kg; 1 x 5 @ 70kg (this was supposed to be 65kg, but I added up wrong and decided to just lift it anyway).
B: 50kg and dodgy muscle up progressions : 9:13
A: 2 x 8@40kg, 2 x 5@45kg, 1 x 5@50kg
B: Started with 35kg but was SUPER messy so dropped to 30kg after 2 reps in the 4 round. 35kgs really seems to be my crunch point for cleans and front squats. Finished 8:27 with MU practice on rings
A: 2 x 8 @ 130kg
2 x 5 @ 140kg
1 x 5 @ 150kg – V. tough on the legs
B: got to 1 C&J in round of 3 – scaled MU’s
A. 2 x 8 @ 65kg, 2 x 5 @ 70kg, 1 x 5 @ 80kg.
B. Timed out at 2 muscle ups in the round of 3. Scaled to 50kg C&J.
Thanks to Jamie for pushing me to stay with muscle ups. Prob would have scaled back if I wasn’t pushed. Glad I stuck with them.
A: 2×8 @ 80; 2×5 @ 85; 1×5 @ 90
B: made it to the rings on the last round but buzzed out
Love muscle ups they’re good fun and the movement feels really good. Timmy E your muscle up’s are super efficient
A:
2 x 8 @ 90,
2 x 5 @ 100,
1 x 4 @ 105 (failure)
B: Took it easier, focusing on technique.
50kg, still learning muscle ups, so feet were on the ground.
Time – 6:37.
