Time to get up and get after the day!

50 Turkish Get-Ups (not for time)

10 @ #35
30 @ #44
10 @ #53

#44

#53

These felt pretty solid, but upon further review, I'm missing full hip extension.

Then 15:00 mobility trying to loosen up my hips and shoulders.

Tuesday May 5th, 2015

Tuesday!
A. Work to a max close grip bench press - #240 - not bad considering I haven't benched since late summer

B. Work to a max power clean in 8:00 - #255, ugly, backy, PR(video) - not great, but progress. Still get wide with feet and not dropping under and catching with my shoulders/front rack instead of my hands/arms. I hook gripped everything today, felt solid (there may be something to that...)

Then
AMRAP 8:00
Power Cleans @90%of B (#230)

24 reps - thought I hit 26, but upon further review I only hit 24...I should have pushed the pace a bit I guess. That is one rep every 20s. I was hoping for closer to 1/10s but that was based on doing #220ish.

Then 5:00 easy #AirDyne to flush the system.

May the 4th Be With You!

May the 4th Be With You!
A. Work to a max HBBS for the day - #325

B. HBBS 1 x max reps at 85% of A (#275) - 4, should've had the 5th, lost focus

C. Work to a heavy weighted pull-up #80 - for some reason this has not been there lately.

Then AMRAP 4
Strict Pull-Ups
37

Biceps blew up! Only failed 1 rep, so I was playing it a bit conservative.
