A Plan, Purpose, & Reckless Enthusiasm

Objective: Clean & Jerk, Maximum Effort

Training: 1) Clean & Jerk, Singles, 60, 80, 90, 95, 100(PR), 90, 90, 90

2) Max Rounds in 10 min
10 pull-ups
10 push-ups
10 box jumps

The Board
Technically, I did a heavy single. Not a 1 RM.


Clean & Jerk, 100k
Personal Record !!!


Clean & Jerk, 90k
Dropping back down in weight to work technique

Notes: The local affiliate had a random max effort C&J day. I had a plan - set a new PR at 100K. I had rack jerked 100K a couple of weeks ago so I knew I had it in me. Everything went perfectly.

I tried to keep a "tranquil mind" during my lifts, Dan John advice. My form broke down but that happens during a max effort. My hips still rise first during the 1st pull. My footwork is a mess during the jerk.

I dropped down to 90% for 3 more singles. I didn't miss a single lift and set myself nicely for the upcoming comp.

The pull-ups were the hardest/limiting factor for the Met Con. I have been climbing hard lately and my kip still sucks. The push-ups were a joke. I did drop sets for the box jumps. I stacked 2 bumpers on a 24'' box and pulled 1 half way through. I should have drop set the pull ups. I misread the clock at one point, and it messed with my pacing. I don't care about Met Con. It is not part of THE PLAN.
