Double Down

Reminder that the gym will be closed this weekend due to the Olympic lifting seminar. 

Today is a double strength day. Work your way down the strength rotation.

Cashout – Try a rope climb

If you have extra time, work on a “goat” (something you suck at).

    Double strength
    Clean and jerk

    Cash out 800 m jog

  31. Mobility
    WU x 3

    Double Strength:

    Clean @ 5×50-55-60-65-70

    Push Jerk @ 5×50-55-60 then worked on 65#, having to put the bar down after the first 3, then again after a few singles.

    I was hoping to get up to 70# on the Push Jerk, because I would be one step closer to the weight that I had to use during the Open (75#) and I really want to be able to nail that one! It was my 1-rep WOD of awesomeness, back then. 😛 I’d like to get 5 out of it soon! LOL!

    Oh well…it shows me that I need to be diligent and put in the work! It will come! 🙂

    Thanks for the help with form tonight, Joanna!
