Working from home today, which means it’s Fun in the Driveway. I (heart) having enough equipment to rock out a solid at-home session.
Warm-up
- Dislocates
- OHS warm-up
- OHS w/ PVC
D-OHS (“D” is for “Driveway”)
- 5@45#
- 5@55#
- 1/1(F) @ 65#
- 2/1(F) @ 65#
- 5@65#
- 3/1(F) @65#
Clearly, my OHS needs work. I’m going to add 45# OHS to my warm-up, and start working these with weight once a week. I lose them forward – that’s where I (F). I just need to learn to lock that shit down better.
The Power Clean Challenge – Official Attempt
The PC challenge is a retarded bet I have with my Monster of a trainer. This painful session went down only because I have a big mouth and like talking smack. The terms:
- 50 power cleans
- 1/2 body weight
- Rest anywhere BUT the ground
- For time
- One attempt only
- Deadline: August 31st
Results: 5:40 (at 65#)
Holy Mary Mother of Fuck, did that blow. I rested in my hips at reps #20, 30 and 40 and my right shin is bleeding. I mean, fifty reps is a LOT. The Offspring totally got me through. Well, that and the thought that I’d never have to do this again. Although I probably will. But at 75#. I’m a sucker for punishment. We’ll see how well my trainer does with this tonight. If I’m within a minute of his time, I’ll be stoked. Honest. He’s a fucking MONSTER.
Played with ring kips and ring dips and then I was done.

I think 5:40 is awesome for that. I’m gonna give that a go sometime soon, and if I can get within a minute of *your* time, I’ll be happy. My grip hurts just thinking about it.
