I love squat cleans as a technical exercise.. I like them for 1 rep heavy weights, but HATE them for high rep light weight in a met con. Let alone Elizabeth which is high rep, moderate weight. Yuck.
Video above shows my lifts. Previous PR was 205 but I always thought I had a little more in me. Today I got it done, hit 215 and 220 with success.. the squat up was a little slow, but oh well.. still counts.. Good speed on all of these. Pretty happy..
Next up was this bitch..
21-15-9
Squat Cleans 135#
Ring Dips
Time 8:46 Rx'd PR
This workout is sooooo potent.. Wrecks me every time.. Previous PR was 9:46 so I knocked a minute off, which is sweet. I had a little better idea of the pacing this time and tried to make more manageable sets throughout. I think last time I did like 10 reps in a row of the cleans off the bat and then was never the same the rest of the way. This time I did sets of 4s for a while, stayed fresh, knocked out the ring dips as best as I could. I did like 10-6-5 for the first blob and then sets of 5 the rest of the way. I think I could have been even better if I mentally checked in and held onto the barbell better at the top position better.. Multiple times I just dropped it and let go for no reason. Oh well. PRs are always good. Fun class today.
