A. 5:53… Either I am slow at bar muscle ups cuz I havent done them in 6 months or I’m going to blame the bar I was using wasn’t grippy enough ? or maybe a combo? I also had to get up at 1am for work… ??? All the factors… I did do them in sets of 10/5/5… Just long breaks.. 21 min emom done. Did hang power snatches.. toes to bar are finally coming back… Those felt better this week. I’m doing the jerks tomorrow. Would you recommend anything else besides Bulgarian split squats or weighted lunges for someone… Read more »

A. 6:29 Goal was to keep a 65+ pace and that’s what I did. Last 10 cals at 67. MU’s 8/7/5/3. This one hurt good! Held nothing back as I knew I wasn’t going to have time for the EMOM. B. Squat jerks Worked up to 145# C. Power jerks 180/190/200# – couldn’t make the last jerk at 200# despite trying 3 more times. Still happy with hitting high percentages. Retired D and 21 min EMOM. Came into the gym too late and that’s on me. Will do better to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Overall still a solid session.… Read more »
