A. 195 for all 10 sets.
B. Run instead of row 2:30, 15:00 with 45lb squat clean thrusters. The last 8 I felt like I was at muscle failure in the row position and had to take super long breaks. Shoulders were really burning, once again I am super impressed with the times posted below… Way to go all!!!!

A- Wendler deadlift

C- 1:57/12:36 w/ 30# Dumbbells. That was the worst experience of my life.

Maybe this is a silly question, but most folks are re-starting their clocks after the 4 minute mark, correct? Or is the second time supposed to include that 4 minutes within it?

Thanks, that is what I figured “separate times” meant, but the “at 4 minutes” part had me thinking that perhaps it was supposed to be a running clock. And times reported thus far are widely ranging, which definitely reflects different weight choices for the dumbbells, but I also thought it was possible that others were confused like me.

Nice work on B!!! That is moving. I always forget and get confused on manmakers. So I do push up, right row, push up, left row, squat clean thruster. Not sure if mine is right or wrong but if I do that I feel I am hitting the intent of that MM…

So I just looked at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMNnvhg1JcM

You did it right: It is push up, right/left row, squat clean thruster.
I did an extra push up each round. But that is good, I need help on push ups!

That’s the same video I saw! That’s why I did them that way. Oh well…I guess I’m just a little fitter because of it.

A. Worked up to 120#; did power for last four sets (105# up). For the full clean, I’m having a lot of lateral movement in my hips once I get heavy, so I opted to play it safe.
B. 2:08/8:02 with 25# dumbbells in each hand

No can , I can power clean 110kg but not from high hang so stayed within my high hang limits to work on my technique. And the row when I’m fresh can do low 1:20s happy with 1:30 after the cleans and a heavy day at work
