#18point2

happy saturday friends. today was my first attempt at 18.2:

12 min cap:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 reps of:

dumbbell squats @ 2x 15 kg

burpees over the barbell

in remaining time:

find 1RM clean

i really love this workout. i can fucking front squat for days and i’m small which means burpees are pretty easy for me. i love cleans. i love heavy cleans so much, even though i chicken out sometimes when the weight gets heavy and forget how to get under the bar.

i made some slight errors in the first part; fucked up my round of 8 because i thought i still was on the round of 7, and didn’t go fast enough on the last round of burpees. still, i finished that in 8:07, which is currently the fastest female time in the gym, but i know i can knock a few seconds off that. i cleaned 61 easy and then couldn’t get 65 at all (do you ever just. hate yourself.) and i know it’s because i haven’t gone that heavy in a while and i also know it’s because i didn’t quite feel ready.

when i redo on monday: 

get under 8 min on the first component

take my time and warm up my cleans early

maybe try and hit 65+ in the warm up 

take the first attempt at 61 again because i know i’ll be fatigued

trust myself. i know how to clean; i just have to trust that i can do it. don’t think so much

The dumbbells should be okay but I know it will…
