Jim vs. Clean & Jerk, Rowing

Clean and jerk was the order of the day. I decided to focus on form, keeping the same weight throughout; I did raise the weight from last time, though.

I’m feeling much more comfortable with this form. I only did 2-3 reps as power cleans, with all other being full squat cleans. I’ve just about got my elbows moving as fast as they should. Hopefully this will translate to attempts at higher weights.

I finished up by going upstairs and taking the new rowing machines for a 500m spin. Finished in a frustrating 2:16; no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to bring my speed up. That’s my second frustrating “cash-out” in a row, which feels like some kind of metafrustration.
