VolkeFit: Travolting

A. In six attempts, go to a max single-rep ground to overhead. 

I used a power clean and jerk.  Obvs. 

After warm ups at 135 and 155, it went a little something like this: 

1. 175
2. 185
3. 195
4. 200
5. 205
6. 210.  Almost didn't get the jerk on this one.  But I did get it and managed not to fuck up Steve's wall when I dropped the bar so... YAY! 

The headline "Travolting" refers to the fact that my legs shoot out sideways like something out of "Saturday Night Fever" when my power cleans start getting difficult.   Also, it rhymes with "revolting" so it's doubly appropriate. 


B. 12 minute AMRAP
First minute: Burpees
Second minute: KB swings to shoulder height
Third minute: Air Assault bike for calories. 

1. 17 burpees
2.36 swings 
3. 9 cal (re adjusting the seat ate up some time here)

4. 16 burpees
5. 37 swings
6. 13 cal

7. 14 burpees
8. 30 swings
9. 12 cal

10. 14 burpees
11. 26 swings  (I took a bigger rest here)
12. 17 cal
