At a gym without Bumper Plates so was nervous to go too hard.
A. 5@85lb 6@85lb 7@85lb 8x85lb 9@85lb
B. 14:09 had to sub the 9 C2B with 10 strict pull ups though due to gym equipment. lol those last burpees and the thrusters were ruff.
A. Worked up to 175# (PR – NO PR was registered)
B. Rx’D (115#/C2B). Thrusters were split 10-5 both attemps. 10:05
Shoulders/hams/triceps still sore from yesterday.
A. Worked up to 185#. Failed 205# (previous PR)
B. Thrusters got heavy quick…had to do them in sets of 5. The last 21 burpees were miserable. 11:51 RX.
Rough day. Short on time and gear, mashup of Mon/Tue strength.
A. Max C&J to 205 continued max clean to 225, both numbers well off target.
B. OHS singles to 185.
Hurried and shorted warmup, shoulders a little angry. New day tomorrow.

Subbed row, its cold here in Pittsburgh.
Welcome, Ryan! Just a note on the programming…Unless it says otherwise, assume that all the sets in Part A are “working” sets so you should be going as heavy as possible for them. Use a few sets to warm up to where you want to start then once it gets heavy, start counting them. Great job on Part B!
Thanks Michele, noted moving forward 🙂
2x 175, 185, 185, 185
1x 185
12:25rx
There you go, Noah!
Missed yesterday so we started with cleans. Went up to 295, missed 305 couldn’t commit to getting under it.
A. First 3 sets back rack jerk to front catch then jerk at 245. Last 2 sets at 265 back rack jerk.
B. 15:45 Rx (really regretted doing those cleans during the thrusters).
Just curious, what made you choose to do the jerks from BTN?
Split jerks are a big weakness for me. I can push press about the same as jerk. I’m better at splitting from btn. So a little practice while hitting fronts as well.
Eve all….Michelle, the wife did great up against mostly regionals athletes.
A- 5×8 seated db strict press 20kg each arm. (Not ready for dynamic heavy work yet)
Superset 10 press ups
B- instead of c2b did supine horizontal bb row (I actually find these harder than c2b)
Everything else as u wrote it and all unbroken
Time : 11:00 on the nose
Yes! Nice work to you and your wife!
A. 55kg/60/65/70/75.
B. 14:30
Great, Ivan!
A. Sandbag to shoulder and jerk… 2 x1 @ 123, 1 x 1 @ 153 (failed), 3 x 2 @ 123. Last was really tough. 153 is def in reach!
B. 12:53 with 75lb brute force athlete bag (3:54 on run). Recovered on the run. Should have pushed harder there. Thrusters were really tough. Was planning on 100lb bag but on rep 1, knew I needed to switch.
Whew! That sounds hard!
It felt hard too. 🙂
A. 5 x 2 @ 205,205,215,215,225
B. 15:01 Rx
I wish I hit an actual wall instead of ‘the wall’ during the last round of burpees. It probably would have sucked less.
Haha! Nice work, Scott.
A. Wendler bench
B. 13:26 – red band for c2b.
Wait, I thought you were ditching the band? Just for the C2B then?
I couldn’t touch. Still like 2 inches off.
This might be a good investment: http://www.crossoversymmetry.com
If not, then you should consider hitting some other types of scapular strength work as well as stretching your pecs.
A. Wendler
B. 12:53 Rx – I. Hate. Thrusters.
Why would you say such a thing?! What’s your favorite then?
Cleans!! I’m working through the thrusters. The workouts with 135lb thrusters certainly make 115lb feel easier!
Yesterday was in your wheelhouse then!
