A New PR

I finally hit a new PR for power cleans.  This is one exercise that I have not been able to progress very well.  I had a huge mental block.  I remember in college when we would test our 1RM for the power clean.  I would always feel great until I hit 90kg.  For some reason I just could never get it.  The WOD was power cleans 1-1-1-1-1-1-1.  I did 155-165-175-185-195-200-205.  I finally broke through.  I think I could have gotten 210 if I had rubber weights and didn't feel bad if I dropped it.  

The next workout was the Tully.  Four rounds of 200m swim and Squat Cleans with 40lb DB for 23 reps.  This was a tricky one logistically speaking.  I did this workout at the gym and couldn't bring DB's into the pool area.  So I figured I would just do the squat cleans first then the swim.  The gym was closing down so I knew I wouldn't be able to finish this.  So I did 69 reps of the Squat Clean as fast as I could then changed and went to the pool and just swam as far as I could until the pool closed.  I got through 300m only.  I'm still just a terrible swimmer. 

The next WOD was 30 rounds of 30 second rowing with 30 seconds rest.  I did this at the studio and didn't have a rower so I just did KB swings.  I made it through 15 rounds before my client came in.  This wasn't that bad and I could have definitely finished if I had more time. 

And finally todays WOD was 10-8-6-4-2 Muscle Ups and Box Jumps on a 40" box.  My son is sick so I had to do this one at home.  I can't do muscle ups since my rings aren't high enough.  Instead I did Pull Ups, Ring Dips, and Hurdle Jumps since I don't have a box.  The hurdle was about 35".  This workout took me 9mins.  Mainly because everything was spread out and I had to walk from one station to the next.  Otherwise wasn't too difficult.
