I love this workout! We do emom work all the time and view this like an emom. Try to average 1 squat clean and jerk every 15 seconds or a duration you choose based on your ability level. Choose a pace that is manageable for you but still aggressive and the last 2 minutes are all heart. 🙂

Yes!! Nutrition is key, especially when the volume is a bit higher. Make sure you are eating enough, especially carbs!

Tomorrow is another day!

BS- 285 # across all sets and reps
WZA #1
I miss counted a rep after watching video for submission so my total is 27 reps. Bummer , good luck to you all.

I don’t get part A:
So if I do have sHSPUS, I just do:
– two sets of negatives and
– max. reps sHSPUS in two min.?

I thought of this as an old school ‘drop set’.

Do as many unbroken sHSPU as possible. Then, when you fail, go to the curls. Then if you still have time remaining and fail the curls, go to the box.

Hope that makes sense.

Rob is right! I changed it up later this morning to reduce the volume if shoulders are feeling smoked but the original intention was exactly how Rob did it!

No boxes, just a wall. So I could do:
A) 2 min.: max sHSPUS or
B) 2 min.: max sHSPUS once I fail a rep. kipHSPUS for remaining time.

Not bad. After the first 10 it starts to go down hill. I watched a youngster do it at the 225#. He got 22. I figured since it doesn’t have to be in until the 25th I would use today as a test session.
