Cleans @ home

Cleans are a favorite, but a perishable skill. Worked on timing clean movement sequence for an hour with Matt - I need to work on getting under the bar more ... started at 80 and stopped at 145 when my legs/back started getting sloppy. Best work and comfort level around 125 - I’ll post video of the ones I want to work most later.

20min AMRAP of

• 400m run
• Unbroken double unders (Record rounds & highest/lowest du unbroken streaks)

Route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4611047 . According to Google pedometer, it’s 409m, but it’s fine

7 rounds + 5 DU
17-38-11-8-18-24-22
Tough, but fun! I found myself jogging the last 3 rounds  to save something for the DU. Also a bit of a mental struggle finding pace and sticking to it... as well as keeping the DU consistent.

Post @ 15 + 15 TTB ... rings are definitely easier and lots of fun in our yard with big tree, dogs, and Matt. I also played around with this wrapping knee over arms thingy that I saw on Mountain Athlete ... might be useful for fixed line ascent movements or ice climbing.

Notes:

I’ve been chatting with Rob at Mountain Athlete and he’s provided extremely helpful suggestions for my programming and conditioning for Denali. Given his expertise and skill, he’s a no-brainer to work with as a sport-specific complement to my overall CF conditioning ... plus it’s FREE and something that Matt wants to do with me here at home. He knows and understands the community, he leverages CF principles, It’s FREE, and the programming is specific to mountaineering/climbing

... so this is a good fit... oh yeah, did I mention that the information is free?!
