Jerk, PC+FS, Chins 8-26-10

No workout yesterday because my Grandpa took a turn for the worse and went to visit him. He's a tough old bird though and he's holding on at this point.

Jerk - 95x5, 135x4, 155x3, 175x2, 190x1, 200 3x5
Power Clean + 2 Front Squat 135lb 1x6
Chinup - 35lb 7, 7, 5 f



Jerks felt quite doable. Not bad at all. The PC and FS were silly easy. Nothing tough about today and didn't have to squat heavy which I'll be happy about tomorrow when I'm going for a max Sn and C&J.

Grace, Jerk 7-15-10

Grace - 3:44 PR compared to 3:54 on 5-8-09

Jerk - 215, 225, 235, 245, 255m, 255, 265 (+5lb PR), 270mx3

Some press out would have red lighted the 265 in competition. But counts for a gym PR. Locked out 270 twice but just missed it. I'll get it soon.

Happy with the Grace PR. Been averaging 1 or 2 metcons a week for the last 6 weeks. If I bump that up to 3 that Grace should fall. Sub 3 should be doable before the end of the year.

Jerk, 'Strongman' fun 6-7-10

First time using my new custom Jerk Blocks. Very beefcakes indeed. I'm quite pleased I can finally do Jerks for reps. A paint job and a mat on top to polish them off and these puppies will be nails!

Jerk - 175x3, 195x3, 205x3, 225x3 (PR)
