Workout
4 RFT
5 Muscle ups (10 ring transitions)
10 Clean and jerk – 155/105
100m Suitcase carry – 70/53 (out 50R back 50L)
**I had a few thoughts with this workout, once when creating it and again when writing this blog post.
The first was ‘I want this to be challenging’, and the other was ‘This is going to be fun’.
What I never thought was ‘I can’t do this’. I know I don’t have muscle ups (heck, I can hardly string together a few pull ups) and my max clean and jerk is probably 115# these days.
But the scaled option is doable, and gives me a chance to work on a skill – a weakness – that I probably wouldn’t spend time on outside of class. And I can pick up a barbell and put it overhead, even if it means doing this at probably 85# to make it through all 10 reps. And carrying a heavy kettlebell is pretty awesome, and who doesn’t like to do that along H Street on a Saturday morning???
Have fun with this one.
