What a day. Schedule was quite a bit out of whack today; but nonetheless you have to adapt and keep truckin on. Slept in a bit later than normal and getting to bed a bit earlier, needless to say missed a meal because of time constraints. I'll make up for it, and get on :) Worked out with my buddy at a friend's garage box. Pretty neat little set up ya got there bro; I'll definitely be back from time to time.
Power Clean 3RM
My technicque on this movement is just garbage; I have no problem admitting that. I've always said I'm my toughest critic, and I feel you have to be brutally honest with yourself to better yourself. It takes thick skin to make it in today's world, get over it:)
65-10
75-8
95-6
115-4
135-3
165-2
185-1
205-3
Tried for 215, but that was a no go. Oh well, never satisfied. But this leaves room for improvement and leaves me hungry for next time. Not too good with power cleans as I've been sticking mainly with squat cleans for the past year; catching it so high up is a blower seeing as my squat portion was never an issue. After watching vids of myself I think I have a good idea of where I'm messing up. I'm not keeping my body upright enough on the pull, so I'll modify for next time.
9 Rounds for time:
5 DB Thrusters(2x50)
5 Strict Chin Ups
5 Burpees
13:49
Thrusters can blow me. I was just starting to get more proficient at the barbell version; enter the dumbbells. Aside from the unilateral movement, it was extremely hard to set-up any type of make shift rack position with the dumbbells. Additionally, having stuck to strictly pullups for the better portion of a year now, chin ups just did not feel too natural at the start. Made some slight changes with wrapping my thumb over the bar and that helped a bit. I've always loved burpees:) Good lung burn today.
Finished with a mile run at a recovery pace. Gotta love all the folks burning trees and brush in their backyards. Thanks Irene. LOL
That's it for tonight; early morning workout and work tomorrow. And so goes my weekend. Enjoy the airshow for those that are going!
