Congrats on the clean pr.

I did split cleans and squat jerks for fun a while back.
Danny wanted to kick my ass and told me I can't lift that way at his gym

Stopped pretty quick - squat clean is much more fun and much stronger.

[Eva Claire Synkowski]

thanks! until my front squat improves... im going to work with it. my power cln pr before yesterday is higher than my squat clean pr (155# vs 145#). and now, my split cln pr is higher than my front squat (160# vs 155#). and my jerk is 175#, so its obviously the fs that is limiting me. im working on it - but strength doesnt come quickly!

[Leo Soubbotine]

cut out some metcons and start training 3 days/wk squatting every session. Squat strength will come quick.

Yesterdays WOD looks kind of fun kind of nasty.

I am working my way up to Man Grace. I did 115 LB's Tuesday in 6:40. Debilitating is all I have to say. Two more weeks and I am going for the whole enchilada. Every time I waver I just think of you motoring through in your video.

[Eva Claire Synkowski]

derek -

yes, it was. im trying to regain some of my former metcon capacity! slow road back.

i saw that in your log. im confident ill be giving you a congrats in a couple wks!

sq clean - 95#

first attempt with any version of linda. im not sure how soon ill be trying that again.

[Allen Yeh]

Linda = suck....I still remember my first experience with it, my 2nd girl workout ever. Horrible.

[Eva Claire Synkowski]

yeah, i would imagine rx'd is a pretty hefty dose! rx'd is out of reach for me on any of the lifts for 55 reps, but most problematic is the bench. surprisingly (to me), i wasn't sore. ill try again in a couple months, bumping my "bw" up 10#.

muscle snatch - hvy single - 85#, 95#, 100#, tried 105# - but it was a pwr sn
fs - 5 x 5 - 120#, 120#, 125#, 130#, 130#
push press - 5 x 3 - 120#, 125#, 125#, 130#, 130# - felt light today
jerk - hvy single - 145#, 155#, 165#, 170x, 170#, 175x, 175# (5# pr), 180# (with slight pressout), 180x, 180x

think i would have hit a clean 180# if i was more fresh. i thought 175# was a previous 1RM - turns out i had only hit 170# before.
