WOD

10 – 8 – 6 – 4 – 2

  • Power cleans to…
  • Push press

One movement. Not for time, but for form.

Results

Phew, there’s a lot of work of work being done when you power clean and then take the weight overhead. Jay’s and my form continue to improve. I wish I could get my chest out a little more in the bottom position, and I really want Jay to focus on that tight lumbar, but for the most part, we’re doing these lifts well.

  • Jay: 65, 85, 95, 95, 105 lbs
  • Christian: 95, 115, 135, 145, 155 lbs

155 overhead feels surprisingly easy for me right now – my weakness is in the hip drive.
