Squats and Cleans were on the ladder menu today. grave_dancer from the metro area joined us. He recently moved to A51ish area and is exploring some AO’s. Shhh don’t tell Cheesecurd. Great to have him out! Hope he keeps coming out!

WARMUP: SSH LSS Swings Around the world Halos Prying Squat
THE THANG: Total Tension – Day 4 – Cleans – Presses – Squats – Renegade Rows – Start 1x1x1x 1 and ladder up the Cleans and Squat to 5x a piece (and then ladder down) while keeping the Presses and RR at 1x each We rested 1:20 b/w sets. Seemed long until we got to 4-5-4 sets. Lawd help us we ladder to 7 next week!
Next work Carries for 40 M Suitcase l/r – with 5 RDL at the turn Rack l/r – with 7 lawnmowers at the turn Waiter l/r – with max presses at the turn
Next was our required 80 snatches. -5 rounds of 8 per side (16 ttl) voodoo got sassy, so I added another round – The Worm got sassier and added 4 more to get us to a clean 100 snatches. Over achievers we are.
