Fitness - Two-A-Day, Jerk/Split Jerk Work & WOD #2 - 1/6

Got back to the gym today for the second WOD of the day and I was looking forward to getting after it. Dave and I worked on my power and split jerk footwork and right away i felt a huge difference in my technique, which translated into more confidence as well. When you're dropping under and pressing out hundreds of pounds over your head, you don't want to be wavering.

Focus: Jerk/Split Jerks, worked up to heavy set of 3
2x3 - 80 Kg
2x3 - 100 Kg
2x3 - 120 Kg

The lessons that Dave taught me paid off right away. My form was sick, and I stuck every rep. A few weeks ago I barely got one rep at 130 and it was UGLY.

WOD: 3 rounds for time of
30 split jerks - 60 Kg
400m run

Score/Time: 13:36
Calories burned (focus & WOD): 606

This was a good bit of work. It was hard to pump my arms during the run because the shoulder and back work during the jerks, but my running held up alright. My lungs and legs help up which was nice.

Super excited for "Jackie" tomorrow, I feel a little beat up though.
