Happy Friday!

A. Jerk Stance Behind the Neck Strict Press. 6-8 reps. 90s rest. x5

as light as you need to ensure no pressing into back of head... chin forward... bar straight up and down and hold each rep for a second at the top to feel proper OH position

 

45#, 50#, 55#, 60#, 65#. I recorded the 60  I think I could of kept going with weight, but not sure if I was doing them right? Started with my hands wider on the first few sets but moved them in and it felt better. The rest was more than 90 seconds because I was working out with someone else, but it wasn't too long after. I realized after watching the video that I could/should of held it up at the top longer, but probably never would have noticed if I hadn't recorded myself.

B. Power Clean Cluster (TnG). 2.2.2. 20s rest / 2 min rest. x5

 

These felt good, and I felt strong besides my hand starting to rip. Got 95#, 105#, 115#, 125#, 135# x3, failed on my fourth so I dropped down to 130# for my last two reps. Overall I felt pretty good on these today, probably should have tried 135 again, not really sure why I didn't.

3 rounds for time

20 Deadlift 135#

10 Dips

 

7:35 was my time, was sharing the bar and the dip station with my friend Kristy, I started on DL she started on the dips. Dips were done on one of those pullup/leg raise things.  My arms felt pretty wide compared to doing them on rings where you can keep your body close, and can feel your arms touch the rings. I did the first set without a band, but then switched to a small band because I felt like I wasn't getting low enough. Next time I'll either do it with rings or with the boxes. The dead lifts were fine, did the first set 10 and 10, then 2nd and 3rd broke up 10, 5 and 5.

Another good day in the books. Looking forward to swimming tomorrow since it's been so freaking hot here!
