A. 125# up to 215# by tens. Best I have done on a complex by 20#.

B. As Rx: 9+45…wrist kept me from cycling on the cleans so had to reset grip each rep while in the hang. Done 4/4/3/4/3/2, few trips on the dubs early.

cleans are what ended tearing my meniscus in my left knee so I took it easy and really focused on form. Didn’t have time after that though because I had a meeting back at the office.

Ended up at 151×2

Great work Alex! Work on that hip speed! As you drive out of your high hang position you launch your shoulders back and your hips explosively open… Also, as you dip in the high hang make sure you are firmly back on your heels as you load… It might only be slight, but I can see you rolling forward onto your mid foot.
Speed speed speed! I’m glad your staying light for a bit. Keep focus on mechanics and speed 🙂 Thanks for Sharing the video. I’d love to see more!

A) #45/65/75/95/95/95/100/100/105. Struggled on the last couple sets, maybe should’ve stayed lighter? The clean part was ok, just tough coming out of the squat. (front squat max is #120)
B) 8:23. #95 hang clean, couldn’t go higher without sacrificing form. Clean in groups of 10-6-4.

A: pr’d my hang with 155. I videoed most sets, so I’ll send some to ya Cat, so you can break it on down:)
B: used 115 and had a fatter bar than I used for the stg portion, so a little rougher for me. (Rower is in home gym 🙂 )
11:15. Did cleans in 5, 5, 4, 3, 3

A. Barbell WOD
B. Barbell at 70kg/155# – 10:58
Working with a thicker barbell which made cycling with hookgrip that much harder, had to go to quick singles as of 10 reps. Good wod though!

5-5-5-5 … nearly went UB on the double-unders … tripped up at 93 … looking forward to the Invictus crew crushing regionals – good luck with the preparations.
