Grace

In celebration of Gita's birthday, he came up with a cockamamie WOD that involved bodyweight clean & jerks in some formula of your age, which would have had me performing 34 reps of 180-pound clean and jerks. Which is 40 pounds over my 1RM, so...that wasn't going to happen. Since it was fairly close to Grace, and I'd never done that workout before, I elected to do that instead.

For time: 30 135# Squat Clean & Jerks

50:06 RX

A horrifically embarrassing time, until you take into account that my 1RM is 140 - only five pounds heavier than this. It took forever and chewed up my hands something awful, but I felt pleased at the end just to have completed it.
