Rapid Fire Squats with 285#

Went to open gym tonight to train with Brent.

Warm-up

• 500m Row
• 45# Clean Position Work
• 95# Clean Position Work

Power Cleans

• 3 @ 125#
• 3 @ 155#
• 2 @ 185#
• 1 @ 215#
• 1 @ 225#
• 1 @ 235#
• F @ 245#

I gave up on that last one before I even started. Would have been a power clear PR. My clean feels terrible compared to my snatch.

Strength

Back Squats

• 5 @ 135#
• 5 @ 185#
• 3 @ 225#
• 2 @ 255#
• 10 x 2 @ 285# (rapid fire!)

Brent and I went pretty much one right after the other for those last 10 sets. Finished just under 9:00. Last few sets were a big struggle for me to get the 2nd rep.

Bench Press

• 5 @ 135#
• 3 @ 165#
• 3 @ 185#
• 3 @ 205#
• 3 @ 215#
• 2-F @ 225#
• 3 @ 205#

Getting better, but right arm was still the failure on 3rd rep at 225#. Don’t think I’ve ever done more than 1 at that weight though.

WOD

5:00 AMRAP

• 15 Ball Slams (15#)
• 25 DU
• 10 Pull-ups

Everything unbroken for 3+42, 8 pull-ups shy of 4 complete rounds. Haven’t done any double unders in weeks, so stoked to have done all 4 sets unbroken. The pull-ups weren’t bad either. Ball slams were terrible in that last round. Triceps were smoked from bench press.
