Monti
5 Rounds for Time: Done in 1:15:21 Redo 11/27/19 - Finished in 1:01:07 PR!
50 Box Step-Ups (45/35 lb barbells, 20" box)
15 Cleans (135/95 lbs)
50 Box Step-Ups (45/35 lb barbells, 20" box)
10 Snatches (135/95 lbs)
I did this after a 4 mile run and 9.4 mile bike ride so I was just overall tired but this was an amazing workout! I decided before I started that my goal was just to get through it so, I kept time but was not - in ANY way hurrying through it! Lol! I never stopped on the step-ups and did the cleans and snatches in sets of 5. If I never see another box step-up in a workout I will be VERY happy! :P 500? Sheesh!!!
11/27/19 - Day 27 of my 30for30 Heroes Challenge - I thought this might not feel so great but actually... It wasn't too bad at all! I really love these types of workouts - just put your head down and go for most of it and then I like a little skill work thrown in! I only felt my back in the first round and then it must have warmed up and/or I was keeping my posture more upright because I knew the potential for back stress on this.
Cleans felt soooo good and strong. I just did singles because I had a couple rips ready to go on my hands. Snatches were pretty good too. I fully planned on squat snatching because my power snatches at 95# haven't historically been strong but I powered all of them and only missed 2! Overall - an incredible workout and I am so honored to have done it again. ************************************* Sgt. 1st Class Jared C.
