Cindy, OHS, Clean & Jerks

Monday 4/19

Crossfit Max Effort:
Overhead Squats
**Completed 135 lbs**

Crossfit WOD:
"Cindy"
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 Pull-Ups
10 Push-Ups
15 Squats
**Completed 12+ rounds**

Killed it on the overhead squats. Moving the weight over head and stabilizing it is BY FAR the hardest part. Cindy is all about moving constantly. This was my first Rx on a pull-up workout! Woot! Looks like the kip is finally coming through and all those painfully long pull-up workouts are paying dividends. This was a very satisfying day.

Tuesday 4/20

Crossfit Max Effort:
Clean & Jerks
**Completed 165 lbs**

Crossfit WOD:
5 Rounds of:
9 Dumb-bell Hang Clean (with squat) - 40 lbs
9 Dumb-bell Push/Split Jerks - 40 lbs
**Completed in 11:05**

Almost got 175 lbs up on the clean and jerks. I can clean the weight no problem, just missed the split jerk. Push for 180 lbs (or whatever current body weight is)! I don't care for the dumb-bell Olympic lift workouts, I should be able to get under 10 minutes next time around though. Focus on keeping your elbows in on the jerks and keeping a steady rhythm for the cleans.
