PushJerk 125# and PowerGrace@95#

WOD#170 Push Jerk 1x7 (45-65-85-95-105-115-125) 11:08@106/150
Compare with WOD#82 Split Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 45#, 65#/85#. Okay 125# is a huge PR. It felt easy enough and I could have pushed more but not a whole lot more. The best part was feeling the bar quite literally fly through sticky point in a PP. I caught the splits at good heights so I didn't have to split a whole lot.

WOD#171 Grace 30 x Clean&Jerk@95# 15:15@162/182
First time Grace but this was a total flop. I misunderstood the wod and did HPC instead of full cleans from floor. I tried first couple of reps properly and rationalized to myself that there is no way this wod specs 135#x30 Cleans from floor! So I escaped the real wrath of Grace. The HPC version was bad enough. By the time I reached #10, I was thinking of quitting at 15 despite scaled down 95# weight. But then I surprised myself by moving from a 2per subset to 3 per subset after #18. It was fun. This is one of those wods which get HR pumping at anaerobic levels and the only thing you can think about is how NOT to put head under this weight. Interestingly 95@ Clean&Jerk is also my PR weight so 30 compromised reps is not that bad. Great full body wod. It felt good after the wod when nothing was hurting bad but everything in the body was aching. Poor technique caused some pains in wrists but nothing major. Also catching weight on bare shoulder caused some bruising on neck but no skin damage. About half an hour later my fingers were shaking involuntarily at computer keyboard which felt funny. But again nothing serious. Looking forward to doing this wod properly next time.
