WOD: One Jerk at a Time

Warmup
stretching, joint mobility, light slingshots, swings, tgu's

Workout
10 rounds, go heavy:
-10 jerks right
-10 jerks left
-10 goblet squats
-10 swings

Results
Fuck me!! This is a perfect example of a workout I would have drawn up for myself and called it quits half way through....not really an option at Instinct - love that place!

I used a 24kg bell for the jerks. My arrogant "first round" self thought maybe I should have tried to bump it up to a 28, but he's an idiot. Starting the 7th round I had to break them up - 5 right, 5 left, 5 right, 5 left - because I couldn't get 10 straight anymore.

I used a 20kg bell for the squats, which I still hate with a passion. And for the swings I used a 28. I probably should have used 32 for the swings but they were still tough enough.

By the end of this one my shirt was f'ing soaked, my legs were wobbly and I could barely breathe...another killer tue workout to convince me to make wed a rest day :)

  1. AHAHAHA, I love it! How much rest do you take between rounds? Or none?

  2. no set rest on this one, no. I treated it as an AFAP (as fast as possible) so I rested as needed - between exercises and rounds...but not enough to actually become rested :)
