Self-deception can be a powerful thing.
Clean and jerks were first on today’s menu: 4×3 using 80% of my max. My max of 160 puts that figure at 128, which I rounded up to 130.
130 x 3
130 x 3
130 x 3
130 x 3
That was rough, and honestly the only way I got through it was by telling myself that it was gonna be a short day. I was gonna skip the DB Bear portion of today’s workout, and take it easy. I lied.
As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
“The Dumbbell Bear”
5 Dumbbell Deadlifts
5 Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans
5 Dumbbell Thrusters
I aimed to get through nine rounds, and got through ten. When I did this for 20 minutes, it took me 12 minutes to get ten rounds. I’m not sure how much the different timing mechanism had to do with it, but I’m pretty pleased with the improvement.
