With Regionals a fortnight away…
Yes, I’m aware that a fortnight is 14 days – but damn it sounded dramatic.
…there won’t be a ton of PR videos – unless your name is Wes Kitts – and I don’t have a ton of time to scour the airwaves, or tinkle the ivories for content. So why the unnecessarily long discourse on what I’m posting?
Basically, it was a long-winded apology for posting a video of one of my current favorite riders, jumping a 500# Sportster over a two lane freeway on-ramp.
When Froning does this I’ll be impressed.

Conditioning later
Whats your best Push Press and Push Jerk ?, I really feel like they are holding you back compared to some of your other lifts….if only they were as easy as ring dips for you !
No idea really. I’ve done doubles and triples up to 235 on push press. I’ve power cleaned and push jerked 260, but the jerk is ugly. I would have to say the problem is a mobility issue. I can’t comfortably put weight OH and go into a proper partial squat like you’d see most people do. So I’m not sure where the problem is, but I’d guess that it’s in my upper back because I can feel my lower back compensate during a heavy push jerk.
Conditioning
6 rounds + 33 DUs
-all DUs UB
-C2B in sets of 8 & 7 all the way through

5 rounds + 63 DU.
First 4 rounds of c2b were unbroken, then I ripped, so the 5th round was not butterfly and done in 2 sets.
First set of du was unbroken, then in chunks of 15-35. Had a few false starts where I could not find my rhythm. The 4×15 c2b UB was good for me.
PC-PJ emom tomorrow, plus another crack at Tommy V.

Thrusters felt better. I also wore gloves for the first time which helped a lot on the descent of the rope climbs.
Barbell: emom 10: 2 PC-PJ.
After Tommy V, I did not have much left at all for this one. I started at 115 which is 56% and got up to 140, which is 70%. Not touch and go. Better than nothing.
