If you’ve got a 20 pound vest or body armor, wear it. So, I actually wore my 30# weight vest for this entire workout. It was... amazing! I wasn't sure how the squat cleans were going to go in the vest but they actually weren't bad (I'll post a video in a little bit...). They were heavy - 125# being 85% of my max - but aren't I always saying I need to work on them?! :D And I also went ahead and used the 45# plate for the overhead lunges since we didn't have a 35#. That was rough on my shoulder but I got through it okay...
Was truly honored doing this workout for this Hero. <3 Again - I wore my 30# vest for this entire workout... So so tough. The squat cleans especially were the toughest part beside the last 2 miles. I am so proud to PR this by more than 9 minutes!
This was day 20 of my 30for30 Heroes Challenge so I decided not to wear my 30# vest and went with the 20#. I am so glad I did... it was perfectly difficult.
The runs felt great. The box jumps felt great and even the lunges were okay. The squat cleans... well, the first 8-10 were okay but then I really started to feel the deep fatigue in my legs. Then, it was just a couple at a time. BUT, definitely easier than with the 30# vest so, I was thankful for that! **************************************** U.S. Army First Lieutenant Daren M.
