1/15

tall jerks- 4,4,4  These went okay.  I actually think I am getting better at this.  Went up to 55 on last round

jerk balance 4,4,4. Again, these looked good.  Used 55

I did the split jerks and squat clean thrusters as a couplet  but broke out the videos separately to see how the movement changed as the weight increased. Because of the available bars, weights and rack setup, I used the same weights on both - 110,115,120,125,130,135,140, 145.

On the jerk, it was better, but I did notice that my drop decreases as the weight gets heavier.  I think all lifts would be legit, but I need to get my front foot out further.  But, I think they look better than in the past.

The squat clean thrusters were a new move.  I worked on the form of the squat clean and it made the thrusters a little more difficult (open hands at the top)  Anyway, I did two of each but failed on the 2nd at 140 and 145.  I will need to do this movement some more to get comfortable with it.  Also, my left scapula/shoulder had some soreness and I think I was being cautious.  Need to roll it out a lot later today.

the WOD was 10 power cleans/push jerks, then 15 T2b, 3 rounds.  Time was 11:08.  I struggled with this.  For starters, I don't do much push jerking so I had to work getting the movement right.  The T2Bs were mrginally better this time.  Not so much swinging but I need to work on getting a "pop" out of the bottom.  First and second sets were 8/7.  Third set was 7/2/2/2/2.  I was getting close to the end of my range here.  I had hoped for a time of around 8 minutes but at least I finished.
