Lazy Lifting on Saturdays!

Got in for some weightlifting work today, nothing heavy, just some technique work. 

Clean Complex up to 205 lbs of Power Clean, Hang Clean, Front Squat for three singles.

Snatch off blocks, above the knee. Triples up to 155 for three sets.

Split Jerk off blocks. Doubles up to 225 for 3 sets.

Then went and benched, because... bench. We're actually doing a Wendler cycle at my gym, so I needed to find my 5rm. Came away with 207.5, after getting stuck under the fourth rep at 215. I totally forgot how to bench... so sad.

My strength coach and I built some jerk blocks recently and today we got to test them out.
The strength workout was 10 minutes to find maxes on each of the three movements: 5rm on Z Press, 3rm on push press, and 1rm on split jerk. Hit 115 for five and 135 for three on Z Press. 205 for 3 and 225 for 2 on push press. Then hit a 20 lb PR on split jerk at 295lbs.

The WoD was a quick little sprint.
50 double unders
1 rope climb
10 clean and jerks
1 rope climb
50 double unders

Kept the weight light on the c&j at 155 and just flew through this in four minutes even. The double unders were my only stumbling block but I'm getting a lot better at them.
