testing - Wednesday 23 April

For time:
30 squat cleans, 145
+
(rest as needed)
+
10 sets for time:
5 unbroken CTB pull-ups
7:45
+
9:13
Squat cleans felt excellent today.  Done with 10 just under 2:00, then slowed down considerably.  Only the last 3 got a little ugly.  Last time I did this was June of last year, finished in 6:35 but weight was only 115... !
Had absolutely zero rhythm on the first 3-4 sets of CTBs; basically came to a hanging dead stop between reps 3, 4 and 5.  Picked up a little bit of rhythm in the middle sets, but then in sets 8 and 9 came dangerously close to failing at 4 (but didn't).  Rested about 0:30 in the first half, which crept up to 0:45 between the last 3 sets.  If this was 50 for time, instead of mandatory sets of 5, this would have been a good 4 minutes faster.  I've gotten really good at the quick singles recently, but really, really need work on stringing together bigger sets.
