How much weight for C&J?
Oops – just posted!
It’s a toss up between the “scarecrow” elbows and “humping” the car door. I need more pelvis!
I find the best cue for me is to drop. Just drop under the bar. There was no amount of other information that sunk in for me to not take the bar UP to my shoulders. Everything else came along once that happened. Fast elbows were hindered by me trying to pull the bar up. Power position wasn’t happening unless I dropped, etc. I practiced empty-bar high-hang cleans one day and it clicked, boom.
OMG last nights deadlifts have truly ruined me today. NOTHING came together the way it should have.
A. 115-135. Max was TWO 😛
B. Yup
C. Four. FOUR. PU Wednesday, PU
don’t pull fast off the floor. EXPLODE HUMP THE CAR DOOR. drop it like its hot.
This is a rap song waiting to happen!
:)…hump the car door…that’s the best
for me it was pulling myself under the bar, and not pulling the bar over me
A. 85# for 8.
B. check
C. 8+7 w/ 53# thrusters and 3 burpees.
Humping the car door will always make me giggle
A. I miss squats… subbed lunges w/25#KBs and Bulgarian (??) split squats
B. half check. worked on dips skipped GHRs
C. 7 rds – subbed 20# push presses & 50m row
Happily, the hip doesn’t seem to hate me at the moment 🙂 Baby steps.
