The end of a cycle
To end this cycle, we’ll be maxing out our split jerk and doing a fun little cuplet of squats and running. It will be a good chance to test not only how much control we’ve been building overhead but also how well we’re acclimating to the amount of running that we’re seeing. Quick hint: there will be plenty more of this to come in the warmer months.
Stay tuned for the next cycle (starting Monday). We’ll be seeing some more deliberate opportunities to test and then retest workouts to give us some metrics to measure improvement.

20-16-12-8-4:
Goblet Squats (2/1.5pd)
200m Run
Split Jerk: 105#. Total bummer.
WOD: 7:39, Rx
Split Jerk 125# PR!!!! 😀 I have room to grow here when I gain more stability in the split. Nick instructed me to train the “strict split press” – amazingly, one week ago today, Ben and I were joking about this exact movement… as if it had no training purpose whatsoever… 😉
WOD 7:37 Rx
STR:
Split Jerk @ 115# PR. That last attempt was not pretty but I got it up.
WOD:
7:18 @ 1.5pd
STR: 205# (PR by 20#) with so much time. Like, well into the 7pm class. Skipped WOD.
split jertk: 245#. I should probably be happy with this, but am not.
skipped WOD…squatted a bit, then went home to mope.
