Easy E

"Elizabeth"
21-15-9 of:
135# cleans
Ring Dips

This was my first time to do Elizabeth and after hearing the horror stories floating around the box I decided to run with 115# on the cleans. My total time was a flat 8:30 with kipping ring-dips. A lot of room for improvement here... mostly on the cleans (go figure).

Waited a bit then switched gears and hit the barbell. The rx'd workout was:
Behind-the-neck Split Jerk
2-2-2-2-2

I liked these! They helped me focus on 1.) my hip extension and 2.) my split-stance without much apprehension about the weight on the barbell. Worked up to a successful 185 and then my shoulders decided I was done. Since we weren't doing the clean portion of the lift Trey suggested I widen my grip on the barbell... think this helped a lot.

Three Tomatoes Were Walking Down The Street...

Playing a lil catch-up on the blog... I've been documenting times/weight/performance on the CFDC site but haven't been transferring the shiz to the FOUR-SIX and TWO. Gonna do that now so most of the following entries will be short 'n sweet. There will be an occasional weight recorded which I have been monitoring fairly consistently. Here weeeee go...

Interval Elizabeth
1:1 work ratio between rounds
21-15-9
Squat-cleans/Ring Dips

"Took it easy" today with 115# to work on my technique and ROM, my cleans are a work in progress... Ring dips have come a long way, no band today
