Marathoner Joins the Team

Late last night, Marathoner joined my Master the Met team. That brings the team count to three, with two more “on the fence”. I’ve invitations out to several others, but I think most of them will say no.

Warm Up
10x Clean & Press @ 115# : 1rep/15sec
10x Clean & Press @ 135# : 1rep/15sec
5x Clean & Press @ 160# : 1rep/15sec
5x Clean & Press @ 160# : 1rep/15sec
Getting Warmer
5x Deadlift @ 345# : 1rep/15sec
5x Deadlift @ 345# : 1rep/15sec
8x: Cooked
3x Front Squat @ 235# +
3x Chin Ups @ BW+35#
3x Military Press @ 135#

There was no deliberate rest between the front squats, chin ups or presses - just enough time to walk from station to station. That heavy 8×3 sneaks up on you. Everything’s going just fine - heavy, but fine - until about set 5 or 6…then BAM!…”What the hell am I doing?”

All of that took just more than an hour - maybe 1:10-1:15.

I’d ~pant pant~ definitely ~pant pant~ call that ~pant~ pickin’ it up ~pant~ a bit.

If you include one front squat for each of the cleans in the warm up, that’s a front squat volume of 9740#. Not bad for a Friday morning.
