Before
I LOVE Clean and Jerks! Although not able to do pistols I knew I would have to scale AGAIN. But even with scaling, I knew I could not do the scaled weight after the first round of pistols. So I said let’s do it and go from there.
Strategy
But even with scaling, I knew I could not do the scaled weight after the first round of pistols. So I said let’s do it and go from there. I knew I was going to do step-ups to not get tired too fast but also to not stop as much. From there I knew I would not be that tired and I could cycle the bar bell.
Durning
It started. Step-ups were a lot but manageable. Clean and jerks were going great, then came the second half. I started to get tired and the barbell became my nightmare.
After
Well, I did not PR but I did lift my max more than once so that was fun. This workout was not the best but it was fun and full of many PR’s in the community. I am glad I did it but would not do it again.
