Team Series Event 2

More team series tonight.

Warm-up

  • 3×8 Reverse Hyper (210#)
  • Bottom Squat Hold
  • 5 Shoulder Press (45#)
  • 5 C&J (95#)

Team Series Event 2

As FF and MM pairs, 20:00 AMRAP

  • 30 C&J (females)
  • 30 C&J (males)
  • 30 C&J (females)
  • 30 C&J (males)
  • Etc.

Switch athletes after every 5 reps and increase the weight of the barbell after each set of 30 reps.

Females use 95, 105, 125, 145, 155, 165#

Males use 135, 155, 185, 225, 245, 265#

We were flying through until Jess tweaked her back when the girls were 8 reps into  125#. She’s coming back from a pretty scary tweak so smart to stop before really getting hurt. So our score was a 128 with a tiebreak of 8:39. There was still 9:53 on the clock when we stopped. Bryan and I flew through those first two Graces in 1:41 and 1:51.

After making sure Jess was ok, Michelle, Bryan, and I continued on alternating sets of 5 with our 125# and 185# bars. Then I think Michelle went with 135#. We put ours up to 225# and I knocked out 5 singles. Have never tried that and really needed to think about what I was doing after the first rep or two, but continued doing power clean & push jerks. Got in one more rep after they did some.

Team of 3

The 3 of use decided to whip up a version of Event 1 to try out.

  • 100 DU (each, going one at a time)
  • 150 Row calories (total, doing 25 at a time)
  • 105 Weighted Step-ups (total, 5 at a time with 30/45# DBs and 20/24″ box)

Took us 15:13 I think. Was a really good workout. Michelle started, getting 100 unbroken dubs for the first time, Bryan went next and got in a PR of 80-some unbroken during his hundy, then I went 3rd and got mine unbroken too. Kept the same order throughout.

Legs are going to feel tired tomorrow.
