Sunday 2.10: Squat cleans, Step-ups

Sunday. Emom x 10 min: 3 hang squat cleans @ 80kg. Accessory, 5 sets of: 12 step-ups @ 60kg

Barbell work all the way. First squat cleans, then accessory stuff to strengthen lower body.

  • Every minute on the minute x 10 minutes:
  • 3 hang squat cleans @ 80kg

I have never had any issues sleeping in various beds but this time the first bed on our journey was the worst I've ever had. Since then my left shoulder has felt a bit numb and neck is sore. Got to take that into account when writing my wods.





Accessory.
  • 5 sets of:
  • 12 (6/6) step-ups @ 60kg

Saturday 1.10: Intervals of cleans and burpees

Saturday. Intervals, 6 sets of: 10 hang power clean @ 60kg + 10 burpees.

Intervals.

  • 6 sets of:
  • 10 hang power cleans @ 60kg
  • 10 burpees
Got outdoors in the evening as you can see from the video. Not much to be seen as it's getting darker this time of the year. Didn't have a timer but I checked from tape that the recovery was around 1-2 minutes between sets. Basically the idea was to settle the breathing a notch before hitting another set. Unbroken every round of course, otherwise it would have been a bit awkwardly written workout. The purpose
