20 Double-unders
4 Overhead squats @ 30kg
6 Dumbbell full squat cleans @ 15kg DBs
8 Burpees
AMRAP in 15 min = 5
Notes
Well, the CFSB front squat day was all well and good. It’s been ages since I’ve done these but they’re great. The last set was two plus three singles in rapid succession. Not exactly a legit “5” but would have been a PR effort if it was, which is a good sign.
A set of 20 back-squats is never “easy” but after having 85kg in the rack, 65 on the back never felt like it was going to crush me. I could have gone just a little bit heavier there and a new 20RM PR. Also a very good sign.
Hangover Cure was, as usual, an exercise in throttle control just to keep from hurling. There were moments of psychological weakness when I declined to truly “go there” for the sake of the clock and counter. That will need addressing. I would love to do this workout with Pete some time. It’s his invention and a real classic.
