    Amazing weekend!

    Power clean build up to a heavy triple
    85-105-115-125×2 (failed the 3rd one)

    WOD Rx’d

    reps= 398 (re-calculated when I got home :))

    This is one of my favorite WODs, I can’t find my last score though.
    Fun class! Great job nooners!

    2. Heather Colleen

      Ridiculous watching you knock out those reps…while I was trying to catch my breath!

  10. Heather S

    Heavy Power cleans X 3 (Current 1 RM from Games = 135#)
    75-85-95-105-115-120-125 (x 1)
    Seems I can get my elbows up and open release my grip, OR I can get under the bar; OR I can extend through the hips without bending my elbows. UGH! Also, probably needed to start a bit higher – maybe @ 60-65%.

    WOD @ 85#
    4 + 7
    3 + 6
    3
    3 + 9
    3 + 9

    Total = 319 reps
    Don’t know what happened in the third cycle 🙁 but sloppy, snakey pushups in the first round…I saw the pictures to prove it! Thanks for the correction Kevin (seriously…)
    Next time @95#.

    That was a butt kicker. Still, really like this WOD. This was a far cry from my PR from 2012, but not sure I had any more to give today.

    Build up to heavy power clean triple
    85-105-125-135-140#
    Made it to what my theoretical 3RM should be based on my 1RM of 155# that I set last Monday. Need to work on form, didn’t feel as good today.

    WOD Rx’d:
    311 reps

    Break down:
    4
    3 + 3 squats
    3 + 2 p.cleans
    3
    3 + 6 pushups

    This went pretty much as I expected – death by pushups. They’re my weakest movement of the bunch and I found my face resting flat on the floor a lot.

    Fun full class at 5pm, thanks Steph!

    Today Paige and I joined the 8:30 class..
    Strength Power Clean, build up to a heavy triple..
    We both maxed out at 85..
    The Chief
    Max round in 3 min
    3 power clean (we both used 60#)
    6 push-ups (on the box)
    9 squats
    Paige 211, I got 213
    Although I was glad for the box option to help me gain strength, I seriously struggled on the push-ups!
    Could I have gone faster and got more reps? Perhaps.. I chose slow and steady..
    I feel like one of those show off body builders, my chest muscles are twitching all on their own!
    Thanks Kevin!
