Oly Total / Petranek Fitness Test

A. Oly Total

Max one-rep snatch + max one-rep clean and jerk.

It's been a while since I went heavy on the snatch.  (Tee-hee)

As I warmed up, 135 felt pretty good.  155 didn't feel too bad, but 160 just wasn't happening today. 

Snatch: 155

On the clean and jerks, 205 felt like a real struggle.  I failed to clean 215 on my first attempt.  I got the clean on the second, but didn't even come close on the jerk. 

Clean and Jerk: 205

Oly Total: 360

500m row
40 squats
30 sit-ups
20 push-ups
10 pull-ups

I didn't know what my previous best on this was.  I knew it was probably 4:00 and change and I was sure that I wasn't getting any PRs today.  I finished the row in about 1:40, which is not bad, but then my legs protested loudly and repeatedly as I was doing the squats.  I ended up having to take breaks (SO MANY BREAKS).  

I felt like I was sluggish on the sit-ups.  Push-ups were done in sets of 12, 5 and 3.  I didn't pause too long on the breaks, but still, they were breaks. 

I did the ten pull-ups unbroken, but there was a lot of flailing and extra motion in my attempt to do this quickly.

Finished at 4:16.  Turns out that is a PR over my previous best of 4:23.

Clean and Jerks / Petranek Fitness Test

A. Clean & Jerk 3-2-1-1-1
Then 85%x2x2

3x135
3x155
1x185
1x195
1x205 (FAIL on the jerk)
1x205

Then 2x175 for two sets.

I'm sure I've done 205 before, but don't have any record of it. Maybe it was just a rack jerk. Any day you get a PR or close to it at 6am in the morning is a good day.

B. Petranek Fitness Test
For time: 500m Row
40 Squats, 30 Situps, 20 Pushups, 10 Pullups

After doing the row pretty quickly (for me) my legs were done for the squats.

Took me 4:24 which felt like forever, since Jarret was done about 40 seconds sooner. That's one second slower than I did this in 2009. Yesterday's front squats might have something to do with that, though.
