was not able to complete due to time, had to go teach a class
I am really happy with the 5RM power clean. My old PR was 165 so I went for 170. On the first attempt I failed the 5th rep so I decided to go for it again. Josh told me to rest longer while the bar is on my shoulders each time instead of rushing through it and that definitely helped a lot, I was able to get 170 for 5. Video is here. I went for 175 for 5 but failed the 5th rep, dammit. I was happy to get it for 4 though, I think if I hadn't have just done two attempts at 170 I could have gotten it. The axle/burpee EMOM was WAY harder than I thought it would be. It took me about :30 to complete both the deadlift and the burpees, I was trying to do the burpees as fast as possible. About halfway through I was having trouble catching my breath, I'm not sure if it was the humidity or that I was just tired, but I didn't expect the EMOM to be that difficult. It was fun though, I like any type of axle work. I wasn't able to do the reverse hypers and planks, I had to leave sooner than normal to go teach a class at the other gym, I accidentally spent more time on the cleans than planned.
