Fitness - Clean & Jerks & WOD - 11/25

Got a lot of sleep again last night and woke up feeling great, ready to rock.

Our focus was full squat clean & jerks. Then it was time to get after the WOD.

Focus: Clean & Jerks, 5x5 cross sets
1x5 - 85 Kg (176.4#)
4x5 - 97 Kg (213.8#)

This was heavy. I started feeling it after my second set at 97 Kg's. I feel my form getting more and more solid every time we do olympic lifts. When everything is clicking the way it should I can feel the movement get dialed in. I feel good about my c&j output today. I'm getting more and more comfortable with a lot of weight at the bottom of my front squats.

WOD: 10 down to 1, then back up to 10 (10,9,8,7...2,1,1,2,3...8,9,10) for time of:
Body weight dead lifts - 86 Kg (189.6#) on the barbell
push ups
v-ups

Score: 14:18
Calories burned (focus & WOD): 744

I don't know what to say about this WOD other than It kicked my ass. I went out fast through the rounds of 10, 9 and 8 but then settled down a bit into a nice (but still pushing it) pace. I pretty much kept that pace throughout, took a small break (about 1 minute) before I started working back up from 1.

I was drained after this one and it took me a few minutes before I trusted my legs being underneath me, then I walked to my car. With the deadlifts, I focused on controlling the weight on the way down and not bouncing it off the floor. It was more of a touch and go on the bottom and then really exaggerating the full hip extension at the top of the dead lifts.

One thing is for sure, my glutes and hamstrings are going to be rocking tomorrow.
