10 min and some change. The objective of this wod was to find the most efficient path from ground to overhead. The weight creates nothing less than a wrestling match. I wanted to keep as constant a pace that I could without experiencing too much form degradation. Furthermore, I wanted to know what to expect in the clean when fatigue sets in and grip loosens, when lungs are bellowing steam while they should be contracting tightly, and when the rack droops at the elbows. This two part movement is so complex and challenging that the increased frequency with which I train it the more I realize how little I know. The over head is a challenge for anyone with long arms but nothing that perseverance can’t overcome. I chose the push press/jerk herky jerky crappy jolapy movement over the split jerk due to the nature of the reps. Furthermore; I wanted to fight the bar and not the form. I have lock out issues and need to address them head on. The best way to address any loopholes in your game is to find your boundaries or sticking points and stay there. Overhead is where it's at for me. 4 rope climbs until biceps lock up set in. Reverse tabata L-hangs as a cool down.
Good question. Let me get back to you as I don't know my 1rm. Silly I know but sillier is how such a simple question will force me to face something I might have been avoiding this entire time.

How close is 225 to your 1rm?
