Nice job Barry! I rolled my ankle that day doing jerk recovery portion, so didn’t get to finish this workout. Been nursing my swollen ankle since then. Hope to be back at it next week.

Felt OK at 60,70,70,70,75,75,80, last three sets were not splitting as well. Did extra round as knew I wasn’t doing jerk recovery due to no rack to use. B did squats at 80,95,110,115rs as required ,110kg x5 reps dips did 10s. C was all I thought it would be. AWFUL. I scaled as 84 was not gonna happen. Started at 70kg, dropped to 65 then… Read more »

A&M done
A. Up to 145
B. 135/ 155/175/185/175. I was happy with this today getting stronger.

M&A done
A. Not allowed to draw on floor. Haha. Tall jerks@65, jerks up to 215, no blocks so I did 5×7 strict press @75%(135)
B. 230,265,301,315,300- i did the dips but was sharing the lone squat rack so timing was off
C. 6 alternating side pull-ups, used 135, didn’t see the dubs and pull-ups till just now, I’ll do them tonight with conditioning. I timed it also but hit the reset button instead of the pause button before my brain could register the numbers…..I’m a wreck Nicole!lol

Definitely not running today. When I woke up at morning there was -25 degrees which is quite cold even for us☺

A. Up to 85
B. 100-110-125-132.5-125 (reps 6-4-2-2-5). All dips 8 reps. Squats were rolling nicely today but for some reason everything else felt difficult.
C. Done – due the lack of time 3 rounds with 70kg which was enough today. Didn’t take time, just trying to move all the time.

Missed totally pullups & du combo. Will do it tomorrow

Today was a breakthrough-
Seemingly I am not up to the level as most. I am improving so much with this program that I am posting for my accountability because I am well on my way due to this program…
A done
B. 130-150-170-180-170-much lower on my dips 🙂
C. Went #105-19:38
Didn’t look at my time considering I was excited that I got through it with MY DU & Pull-ups being way stronger than last week. I do believe that it was 15+ minutes.
Count Down to NorCal Masters…

1st round – unbroken
2nd round – 4 HSC+3 front squat, drop bar and then 5 front squat
3rd/4th rounds – 4 HSC+4 front squat, drop bar and then 4 front squat.
When I broke the front squat up, I would clean right into the front squat.
It also helped that we had two younger guys with good engines in our group to chase.
It looks like you did real well with this workout! Great job!

Awesomeness of course on part C. The front squats killed me. And the entire time I kept thinking… Don’t drop the bar or you will have to clean it up again. So I didn’t drop it but I stood holding it between each painful rep!
