clean and jerk

Today's workout had a lot of lifting, which I've decided is the kind of workout that I prefer. Not that I can lift a ton, but I'm getting better at the technique and I want to build up muscle. It's supposed to help your metabolism, though I don't see any signs of that working.

We started with squat cleans, every minute on the minute for 10 minute. For the first 5 minutes you did 3 lifts, and for the second 5 minutes you did 2. I got up to 70 pounds. I tried to do 75, but failed. IDK what my deal was with 75, I think I kind of freaked out. I went back down to 70 and couldn't do it, but one of the coaches reminded me how, and I got it!  I did do 70 pounds like 6 times, so that's something.

WOD:
10 clean and jerk (I lifted 50 pounds)
200 jumps on the jumprope
8 clean and jerk
160 jumps
6 clean and jerk
120 jumps
4 clean and jerk
80 jumps
2 clean and jerk
40 jumps
my time 12 min 22 sec

I like clean and jerks. I probably should have lifted a little more, though that's actually a lot of lifts. They're cool be cause you lift, get under the bar and lift some more. Double knee bending.

This weekend is a long weekend!  I'm planning to start my big paper for class. Exciting, I know how to live.
