"Heavy Grace"
30 Clean & Jerks for time
185#
Time - 8:58
So, I watched the video of Rob Orlando today doing Grace at 300# and was inspired. I also wanted to do something heavy yet awful. My whole upper traps and neck were feeling tight/weird, so I opted out of back squats and replaced it with this little beauty.
This was actually better than I expected this to go, I don't know if I underestimated myself, or if I just paced it correctly, but I had 15 minutes more in mind as what I was gonna finish at (something like 2 reps spaced out per minute).. But I was able to do more like 3 or 4 reps per minute all the way through, nice and steady.
I power cleaned and push jerked every rep, never had to go to the split, which saved some time.. I wish I had taped this to see if my form degraded at all, but honestly rep #28 felt just like rep #8.. It was just a matter of executing while I was breathing heavy and sweating grossly everywhere..
Good mental wall to break down.. I may try this at 200 at some point down the line just to say I did it.
Back to regularly scheduled programming for the week. Muscle ups tomorrow and "The Chief" on Wednesday.. WOOT.
well done sir. that's a good paced out time, add about 10 min, more bitching and cursing than you can shake a stick at and that's about what you'd expect from me.
