today wasn't easy. It's one of my favorite workouts as I'm really learning to love oly weightlifting, but it sneaks up on you no matter how much you like it. HPC's are one of the new lifts I'm really beginning to like and get a little proficiency in.
Strength: Snatch @ 65-85-95f-95f-95
Spent time working on form and efficiency. Ran out of time to attempt 105# a second time, but practice will get me there.
Metabolic Conditioning: 21-15-9 reps @ 5:40
- Hang power clean @ 65
- Push press/jerk @ 65
I went slightly heavier than the RX'd 50% of Clean and jerk max (my PR is 125# so far) but it felt good to push myself to failure. Truthfully, I could have made the sub 5:00 goal, but I made the mistake of breaking during the 2nd round and dropping the bar to rest too much . . . instead of resting while holding at the top, I wasted time dropping the bar, cleaning it up, and then finishing the push presses . . . and then I stared at the bar a lot too. It easily added a minute I didn't need to add. Ironically, I was killing the first round and fought well through the last . . . I just didn't keep up a steady pace through the 2nd.
Ran 5k to the box and part way home . . . it was dark and it's Chicago . . . plus I run really slow!!! ;)
