High-end power

1-18-2011

The weather today was absolutely miserable. I waited 40 minutes on the train platform, scratching the ice off my jacket. Then I got taken one stop and stood for another 20 minutes. After my warm-up I still had numb toes. Worked out, and by the time I left the freezing rain was just rain. A great workout, though. BK called it "high-end power" or something like that.

5 sets:
6 power cleans touch-and go, 135#
5 burpee box jumps (20")
15 double unders
5 burpee box jumps
15 double unders
rest 4 minutes

TIMES:
1:18
1:24
1:56 (failed last rep power clean x 2)
1:37
1:51 (failed last rep power clean x 1)

135# was a challenging weight, and I didn't quite handle it. Good practice, and this is the kind of work I need to be doing. BK said I am still "reverse curling" my power cleans. In the following week will work Oly technique more deliberately, get those elbows high.
